Winona State in minnesota has the same system.  People put up with it
too.  Dunno why.  It's not like it's that hard to allow someone to
connect with their own PC or mac to a large network like that.

**NEW** 14 1.33Ghz G4 iBook for Sale

2005-04-27 Thread Simon Tang 
Hi all,

I have a brand new iBook for sale. New as in direct factory unit from
Apple, just shipped to me from Taiwan, package unopened, and the
AppleCare warranty will start the day you get your machine.

The reason that I'm selling:
This is a replacement unit for an iBook G4 933 which has gone under
the knife 3 times.  In the upcoming semester, my courses will require
a PC laptop, so I have to sell this unit in order to accomodate the
course software requirements.

The basic specs:
1.33GHz PowerPC G4
512K L2 cache @ 1.33GHz
14-inch TFT Display
1024x768 resolution
512MB DDR266 SDRAM == Upgraded from factory
60GB Ultra ATA drive
Combo Drive
ATI Mobility Radeon 9200
32MB DDR video memory
AirPort Extreme built-in
NOT REFURBISHED -- COMPLETELY NEW UNIT

This same unit w/ 256M RAM is offered through Amazon at $1299 shipped
w/ a $100 rebate, and $1199 + tax ($72 - 110 depending on where you
live) through Apple Education. Or $1299 + tax for those who like to
shop retail.

Cost
I will let this unit w/ the 512M RAM go for $1200 shipped w/ full
insurance via UPS 3-Day Select.

Payment/Transaction details
Due to recent mishaps with Paypal, I will no longer be able to accept
paypal payments. Thus only good ol' fashion check or money order will
be accepted.

Since this is a fairly large transaction, I will be open to shipping
to an impartial third party to act as an escrow, and I will be willing
to split up to half of the associated shipping fees.

Local pickup would obviously be best.  This unit is located in Troy,
NY (upstate near Albany, NY).  I will give a shipping discount for
local pickups  ($1150).

Misc
This unit is completely new, with the labels still intact, and I have
not opened it as such. If you would like me to open to inspect, I can,
but only for serious buyers since the warranty will start the day it
is opened -- and if this sits here for a week, then the buyer will
lose a week of warranty. Obviously, any problems will go through
Apple, and I will be happy to assist w/ the process in whatever way I
can.

Tiger
This unit qualifies for a Tiger upgrade. I have ordered the disks (so
you don't have to), and I will ship you the new version of OS X once I
receive it in a few days for no additional cost!!


Please email me directly to minimize spam to the list, thanks.

Simon

The University of Wisconsin Stout requires you rent a PC from them even if
you have your own computer at $500 each semester.

You can only rent a Mac iBook if you are a Art's Major and you have not say
so in this at all.

Re: **NEW** 14 1.33Ghz G4 iBook for Sale

2005-04-27 Thread Andrew 
Sounds like a great reason to find another school.  My law school recommends
a Dell laptop, but visit any lecture hall and you will see just about
everything on the market, including a few iBooks and PowerBooks.  My last
semester (Spring 04) I sat next to a guy using an old PowerBook 5300ce
everyday.

I can see an engineering or computer field requiring PC architecture if the
required software is PC only and VPC is too slow, but other than that, its
none of their business and would be a real deal breaker for me.
