New 'Puter

[fuzzyjay]

New MacBook Pros came out today, so Apple cut prices on refurbished models from previous generations... This one I've had my eye on because it's the last MBP that will run 10.4.9, hence I can run Classic on it.

I bought one.

Are you actually buying additional RAM with the machine from Apple? Thats like the most expensive place to get it...

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

You can't run classic on it...

It's in Intel-based machine.

[fuzzyjay.livejournal.com]

No, the 349.00 is for the extended warranty.

[fuzzyjay.livejournal.com]

D'oh!

I have a 12"... Powerbook I can sell you ;-)

[fuzzyjay.livejournal.com]

Ha!... has it been out of its pillowcase lately?

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

=)

It's been on the coffee table in the study since the office gave me a macbook to use. I haven't powered it up in ages. I should probably do that, and put 10.4.11 on it (it's got 10.4.x already)

What do you want for it? David is in the market for a small laptop.

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

That's a really good question. I'd have to check and see what they're going for.

It's a 1.33GHz G4 768MB, with combo drive (not superdrive)

My mind so went elsewhere when you, Chris, said 12" powerbook. I still remember your WANG "computer" picture. LOL

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

It's big, but not *that* big, as Jay well knows ;-)

[badgerpdx.livejournal.com]

I know. I know he knows. He knows I know he knows. I know you know I know he knows. I just thought it funny.

It's 12 in AOL inches.

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

Oh, no... I'm a bit bigger than that ;-)

[fuzzyjay.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I forgot the conversion factor. It keeps going up.

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think 1 real inch is roughly equal to 4.763 AOL inches.
