Come and Get my Pismo.
If I remember, I can post this here:
OK...well as promised, I'm offering my Pismo here before putting it on ebay. It was replaced by an Alubook and recently returned from an AppleCare service. The machine was having trouble recognizing the power adaptor. The problem has been fixed without a doubt. They even tightened up the screen hinges and replaced the rubber feet. There are no dead or stuck pixels that I have ever seen. No major mechanical trouble either. It's a nice machine...and of course it has been used over three years so it is not cosmetically perfect. I won't bother with a picture, b/c hopefully everyone here knows what it looks like!
Specs:
Thanks!

The AluBook 15" will be the NEW best ever. I love it!

Murbot - what makes you say that? Did this model have the swappable bay drives (axtra battery slot)?
Plus, curvy black is cool. Think Halle Berry.

My PowerBook is the best ever. Not ALL the rev. a 12" models. Just my powerbook. But for the rest of you unfortunate souls who don't have my particular powerbook (that's all of you), the Pismo is a damn good model. A close second.
I have had some previous offers....I'll give it a few days and then do the ebay thing.

Yes. dual bays. You can run it with 2 batteries, or a battery in the left side, and your choice of a Zip drive, optical drive, extra hard drive, or a weight saving device in the other.
Yeah, that's all good, but the newer PB models are comprehensively equipped and can cope quite well with storage (although, admittedly, battery life can be probelmatic). PLUS - imho - the industrial design of the AlBooks is awesome!

Ahh, yes - I must concede your point there!
