Stupid Pismo Question

[Keith Potter]

   Hey gang.  I am running a Pismo which is now five years old and it 
is really showing a lot of mileage.  I have not been the kindest 
computer owner and the demands I have placed on my faithful machine are 
showing.  I think it is time to retire the old girl and go with 
something new.  The problem is I still really like the Pismo, and I 
have a lot of accessories for it--swappable drives, a ton of RAM, a big 
hard drive, etc.

   What I would really like to do, instead of buying a new PowerBook or 
iBook, is buy another Pismo.  That way I can keep using all this stuff 
I've invested in over the years, and also stick with a familiar 
machine.  So my question is, are there any Pismos still available for 
sale anywhere?  Ideally I'd like a new machine that's just been sitting 
in somebody's warehouse all these years but I figure that's pretty much 
a pipe dream.  So I guess I'm probably looking at used machines.  The 
problem is I have no clue about buying a used computer--how do I make 
sure I'm not getting one that's just as beat up as the one I have?  
Anybody got any ideas?

   Thanks,
   --Keith Potter
