An very interesting proposal. Also, you would have the latest shipping OS and eliminate upgrade cost.
I have an old 700MHz iBook that I never bought AppleCare for, carried it all over the country?thought I'm very easy on equipment?and have only needed a new battery. It payed for itself in the first few month so what was to lose. Someday I will replace it with an Intel Powerbook...jf On Jan 9, 2006, at 7:47 PM, Jonathan Fletcher wrote: > About a month before your warranty is up put it on Ebay.
