Ok, so here goes. I know, people don't think that iBooks are worth much anymore, MacBooks are cheap, they have pretty good processors. However, a lot of important software, (Adobe, and Microsoft) have not released Universal versions of their products so those programs actually run at about half the speed. Intel Macs are pretty impractical at this point, don't get me wrong, they're good, but they're not great. I won't need my laptop, I'm moving to a dorm soon, and I plan on using the computers at school, and using a desktop computer.

Well, I know this price will seem way too high for some people, you might even call me crazy, but I'm not too worried about that. Let's just keep it PG and avoid flaming ;-). Ok with that said, $1200 is the price, trust me, it's well loaded, and $1500 worth of computer/warranty. It also has about $2000 worth of legally licensed software for nearly every need. Once again, the price is $1200.

I have a 12.1" iBook G4 1.2 GHz, 768 MB, 60 GB, Combo-Drive, Built in Airport Wireless G, Bluetooth, 2 USB ports, Firewire, Mini-VGA (video-mirroring)...AND....

-1.5 years left of the Extended, award winning ;-) Applecare warranty for parts and labor
-Perfect screen with no fingerprints (always use a keyboard protector).
-Always in a sleeve
-Only minor scratches on the bottom, and one very small one on the top of the case
-All originals and the box

Why the premium price?
-Mostly because of the software I'm leaving on there. You won't have to worry about buying anything for it once you purchase it. I'm leaving iLife 06, Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite 2, Motion 2, Shake, LiveType, Logic Express, Final Cut Pro, and Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP and its own copy of Office.
-The great condition
-Not really the sleeve, but I'm throwing that in too, as well as everything that came in the box, and the box
-Most importantly, this is your last chance to stay away from Intel! I don't want that crap in my Mac!!!

If you are interested, send me a PM, make sure you are PayPal verified, I am as well!

(If no one seriously wants to buy it I will have to see if the "Teach me make money" kid has cashed in on his empire yet, I know he would want this awesome package!)

Here's a couple pictures, let me know if you have any questions or would like some other pictures of it

The fact that you can illegally download the software, isn't all that appealing to someone who wishes to use legal software.

Stop threadcrapping.

Thank you! Haha no hits on this laptop yet, which is ok, not in desperate need of selling, although it would be nice. I know someone out there would be able to use their creativity on this machine (other than the 50 billion Nigerians that wanted to eat this up from Craigslist and actually sent me $2000 FAKE paypal dollars). Damn Nigerian scammers. I should send this Nigerian guy a picture of the laptop for his troubles, he sent me a fake paypal receipt from the address email==pay_customer_pal@usa.compay_customer_pal@usa.com=pay_customer_pal@usa.compay_customer_pal@usa.com/email isn't that creative??? Needless to say, it would be funny to scam the scammer.

Well anyone interested in the laptop here, I could entertain a lower offer, but you all know the price I asked, please don't make an insulting offer like 10 pesos. ;-)
