wooohooo I have myself a laptop!

[Ryu]

Im dead chuffed with myself now, Ive just won a powermac from ebay for a very tidy sum of money :-)

I was originally after one of redrumloa's laptops but postage costs to the UK would of crippled me.

Good thing is, whith a laptop I can write my show reports on the way back from the show so I can have the report online even quicker than before :-)

oh yeah... the link to the auctions here: ebay.co.uk

nah its NuBus not openfirmware. Ive looked into linux but even the choice there seems quite limiting. I think I'll just get MacOS8.6 for it once ive upgraded the ram that is.

[Ryu]

actually its a powerbook1400cs/117. That means its a 117mhz PowerPC603e not a 68k machine :-). Even so I expect it to be slow with no ondie cache, but I can get a sonnet G3 card for it. But my first upgrade will be more ram...

[Ryu]

hmm not sure what you mean about inlays...

[Ryu]

oh yeah, i read about that. Mines got the black bookcover on it still (I guess its standard)... Ive put up the images the seller emailed me here.
