Tsk tsk, naughty top-poster! :)
Stardate 060208.21:08 -0800. A subspace message from R. P. Bell reads:
Most of us will tell you that, hands down, the Pismo is probably the brightest
star ever put in the notebook sky by Apple.
No argument - why else would OWC still be offering their G4
modification upgrades :)
The Amrani-clad Ferrari gets supercharged, woo! (if I were keeping
one - I don't have a need for portable computing - I would get this
done)
You're probably looking at from US$250 to US$400 for #1, depending
on condition
(especially the LCD; bad pixels really kill the value, as do bad plastics and
keyboard) ...
#1 has got a single stuck white/blue pixel, roughly in the middle of
the top right quadrant of the screen, otherwise it is all good. As I
mentioned, rubber is a little scuffed but intact (no aluminium
showing), and a few wear-marks & scuffs around the corners.
Suprisingly, it has all four feet :)

(I forgot to put the original 10.3.2 disc-pack in that shot ... oh well)
and US$100-200 (max) for #2 (incidentally, can you verify that #2
will boot from the AC adapter?).
This one, the screen overlay has zero dead pixels, but its overlay
has a few key-mark rubbing-spots that are noticable when the screen
is lit. And she runs fine off the mains :) It does have all four feet
mising, though, and a split that runs from the clicker to the latch,
along the botton edge of the front.

All keys present on both, all keys work on both.
