Hi all -
I have too many Powerbooks that I've accumulated over the past year or so, and I need to thin down. Here's the herd:
PB 100: I'm keeping this guy, period. I love it.
2x PB 160: Keep one or get rid of them both? Both work, but are rarely used.
PB 190c: I like this machine a lot, and have a lot of batteries for it. Sweet for games, although I rarely play them or use the machine.
PB 5300c: It's display is broken and the PB is in pieces. I don't have a video adapter to even properly play with it.
2x PB1400c: 117MHz and a better model (133 or something). One with a nice working battery, the other dead. Both machines work, but are rarely used. Should I keep either?
PB 3400c: Nice machine, okay for internet, low on RAM. It occasionally makes horrid screeching noises when plugged in to power, but has nice batteries. Rarely used as well.
PB 2400c: Keeping this one, of course. I have wanted one for years. Hasn't arrived yet, but might need an HD.
Now, I would like to make a game machine for my sister, as one of the PPC machines would work pretty nicely to play her non-online games. Any input there?
Any input or help sorting through this would be great - I just don't have time for all of them and don't see much point in having a representation of almost every Powerbook (except the 500 series).
