I traded some stuff (netbook/Powerbook G3 wallstreet II) for a 1.5Ghz PowerBook G4. The guy I got it from on craigslist wanted $370, so I struck on a deal with my room mate and he took my ideapad and Wallstreet II and bought me a used 12" 1.5Ghz PowerBook G4 w/ RAM maxed (1.25GB RAM), a 4x DVD-+RW, Airport/Bluetooth, 80GB HDD and a 64MB GeForceFX Go5200 video card. The battery is flat, and there is pitting on the wrist wrest, but for what I got it for, I can't complain. It's very nice, looks like it's been well cared for, screen is in perfect condition, and except for the battery and the wrist rest, it's in PERFECT condition. I bought a 160GB HDD (coming in today if it hasn't already) and a battery. HDD cost me $60 and the battery cost me $30. that was shipped btw.

I am on it right now, figured out how to pair my blackberry with it (it's not supposed to work on a mac, verizon refuses to release software to let the curve 8330 connect to the mac as far as tethering) and it works great on bluetooth.

I got pics of the machine here:
