I have maybe the opportunity to get a pretty solid
PowerBook. Its the older model that is black
with a 14" screen. When you see them for sale its
the one with the shark on it.

Anyway, anyone have any experience with this?
Im thinking, a good laptop, a good OS, its not
that fast, 500 I think, but I can type and still
learn the OS.
