Hello fellow listers: Thanks for the advice provided in such a limited amount of time. Fortunately, things turned out to be a little more fortunate that I expected. My parents are going to help cover most of the extra expense, so selling the PowerBook actually became less of an issue than it was at the beginning.
So, I decided to forgo anything risky and just struck a deal with my brother. He's in high school, so I think a laptop computer, especially one as powerful as a Pismo still is, will be a good tool for him, and I'm hoping it will motivate him. Plus, I can swap out the nice 5400rpm drive into my new laptop, which makes me super happy! I can't wait... This 1Ghz TiBook may be obsolete come July 14, but at least it will last me as long as my Pismo, I hope. And hopefully the Pismo will follow my brother through high school. And I'm turning him into a Mac user! Peter -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
