I don't know how you define 'obsolete' but my definition is 'no longer 
supported'. I don't think I would therefore class any G3 or G4 machine 
(apart maybe from the original G3 PB) as obsolete.

The 1GHz G4 PB may cease to be a *current model* on July 14th. That 
however does not make it obsolete. That said most rumors say the 
current 15" G4 TiPB form factor may be being abandoned and upgraded to 
allow for the enhancements seen in the 17" and 12" models. Even so it's 
still very much supported by Apple, still in warranty and still viable 
for an AppleCare warranty extension.

rumors I wasn't sure if something concrete was
floating around in this discussion! Thanks!

And, if he is willing, he could learn something about the innards of the
Pismo, and do a board replacement himself. :-) He might just find his life's
calling--technician. :-)

Pricing Advice Follow-Up

2003-06-04 Thread Peter Graening 
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
