First, my apologies for the first post in the "Good Source of Used Computers," it was a little disjointed. I use Mozilla's "Thunderbird" on my G4 Sawtooth and it formats all emails with HTML, which the list won't accept. So, I have to go over to Entourage to post to the list. Some things got lost in the translation.
Regarding Craigslist... I live in a very small town up on the continental divide in western Montana. Total population here in the valley is 700 people. I know of one other person on the local ISP that uses Macs - we have to be "self-supporting" because when you say "Mac" the local ISP's eyes just kind of glaze over and they mumble a lot. Anyway, that kind of limits my shopping in person for any used equipment. I did buy a TRS-80 laptop computer, of some sort, at a yard sale the other morning and I did get it to boot to a prompt, probably, in ROM. That's about the extent of the local market. Anyway, has anyone done business on Craig's List at a distance? I have looked at some of their ads in the San Francisco list and there is some good stuff, (and, most curiously, I even saw a couple of people trying to swap PC laptops for PowerBooks - they are must be what you call optimists). I am somewhat reluctant to send money without any mechanism to protect my investment. Thanks in advance... Doc -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
