Selling a month old 17" powerbook
 

I don't know what I was thinking.
I am a PC user, and don?t have the patience to ?switch.?
I just dropped $3500 and I miss my right mouse click.

Gig of RAM, 80 gig HD, and I loaded it with $1000's in software, too.

photoshop
Office
Illustrator
Dreamweaver
FLASH
Final Cut Express
+more

But I think I want to get a PC instead if I can find a buyer for...$2800.

Anyone?

Or should I list it on ebay?

Hmm I am actually looking for buying a Powerbook, but not for that much. Good luck anyway! :thumbsup

jesus steen didnt you read his post?
he said the price



hal - ebay it

Sounds like a pretty good deal, I'm the same as you though buddy, hardcore windows user :)

I've worked on Macs before and god am I ever userless. LOL!

DH

Definitly go on ebay with a good reserve

Cool. I'm embarassed to say I've never used ebay.

I guess its time to start. :) thanks.




And, Equinox, I pretty much got the best of everything they offered. You can get a much cheaper one off apple.com if you don't need it so beefy.

Ebay is the way to go for the best offer...

three fiddy

I was suprised. I thought I would pick it right up. But I find myself avoiding the (very pretty) thing at all costs.

p.s. Bummed you didn't make it to Santa Monica. See you soon, I hope!

if ya need help i can walk you thru listing it

it is really damn simple

Yeah, I like my computers lean, especially on the software side. Good luck selling it :thumbsup

No, list it without reserve. Works better

I ll take it for $2500 can you ship it to YUROP ???


:)

I'm interested in it if price is right.

Hit me up.:)

just get a mouse with 2 clicks. it will take any usb mouse

- Seth

I second that.

Yep it's that easy :)

I was just trying to be cute. There's lots of things that I'm not getting the hang of. I actually do have a usb mouse attached.

nice deal

Need rent money again? :1orglaugh

sometimes that joke is funny, but for halcyon it is so far from fitting it just didn't even get a smile out of me

nice deal :thumbsup

Thanks, man.

(um, now, can I borrow $20)

;)

Halcyon...

You interested in trading for photo or video work?

I need that thing like there's no tomorrow but tight on cash.

Great. Wish I had the $$ for it.

:(

Oh my God, what a dumb reason for giving up the best machine you'll ever have. Either buy a mouse and get your "right click" back, or start learning to hold down the "CTRL" button. CTRL+ click = right click.

Give it some time, man. After you get used to Macs you'll never want to use a PC again.

If you'll try using it for two weeks to give it some time and then still don't want it, let me know. I have one and was going to buy an iBook for my fiance for Christmas. Maybe I'll buy your Powerbook instead.

Is the software legit? You still have all the disks, etc?

I was being cute about the right click. I actually have a USB mouse attached right right click and scroller.
It is just taking me too long to get the hang of the mac OS and final cut. I'm trying to use it wuth an external HD with minimal luck. What I really need is a beefy desktop and Premiere (that I know how to use).

Except for final cut, I do not have the disks. I can remove the extra programs if desired.

I have the disks for all of those programs anyway so you could format the whole thing for all I care. :) There's an apple store close by.

I'll give this some consideration over the weekend, and I'll ask my girl what she'd think about having a Powerbook. She really likes the look and size of the iBook. We'll see what she says.

i nominate you for the flash of brilliance award :Graucho :1orglaugh

Hal,

I am in the same boat. I just spent more money and put it into my mac thinking it would help....worst move I have made all week. I want to sell mine too :)

no! don't do it! :P

What exactly don't you like about your mac? The fact that it just works? Or is the nice looks? It's powerfulness? Robustness? What is it?

The lack of power , the ugly colors , the incompatibility , the annoying salespeople. :)

you can have my sig for a year... :Graucho

shuki, which one do you have? I'm looking for a second g5 20" imac for my pad.
