[NPMUG] Exceptional iBooks ready to go!

[Marty Swartz]

Dear Mac Friends -

I'm Marty Swartz, the fellow who does most of the laptop work for the PghMac
recycling effort at Goodwill's Computer Recycling Center. I finished
preparing two exceptional iBooks this weekend, and I thought that some of
you within our community might be especially interested, or you might know
someone who is in need. I've identified them here with our "Apple at Goodwill@CRC"
tracking numbers. If you're interested, call ComputerWorks at 412-481-0922
beforehand, these won't linger on the shelf. They both have our CRC
installation of OSX 10.3.9 .

#7369 is an 800 MHz  G3 iBook 12". The "bonus feature" on this iBook is that
the logic board has been reconditioned, (resoldering of the graphic chips by
First Phase Technologies,
http://firstphasetech.com/ibook-repair-g3-g4.html,) to eliminate the
video failure syndrome that plagues many iBooks. I will
personally guarantee this one for one year against graphics chip failure.
The iBook also has a 30 GB hard drive, NEW keyboard, DVDROM-CDRW "Combo"
drive, 384 MB or RAM, Apple Airport 802.11b card, and an excellent used
battery. In the interest of full disclosure, there is -one- stuck pixel near
the bottom right corner of the display.  Open market price ( via LowEndMac)
is $375 or more, sans reconditioning or Airport.) Goodwill price is $250.

#7381 is a G3 iBook 700 14", in pristine condition - only a few light
scratches. (Even comes with manual in original wrapper!) The bonus feature
on this one is that I've "relamped" display, replacing the display's
original aged and dim CCFL lamp with a brand new one, so the display is very
bright and crisp. Other features are 30 GB HD, Combo optical drive, 640 MB
RAM, Apple Airport 802.11b card, and an excellent used battery. LowEndMac
indicates market price near $400, Goodwill price is $275.

Let me close by asking you to take that old laptop off of the closet shelf
and send it to Goodwill. There's no such thing as a useless old iBook or
PowerBook - somebody can make use of it!

The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from
old ones.
