sorry to sound dumb, but...
I'm just curious - I've owned a PC for ages now, but really want a mac - if for nothing else than to check cross platform compatibility on my websites. I've just seen a bargain 400mhz pismo. should I bother or hold on untill I can afford a (secondhand) g4?

pismo is cool. but it's a g3 so it's not really fast. sure waiting till a g4 gets cheaper is an option. then again you could wait even longer till you can buy a g5 powerbook for a bargain. so it all depends on how long you want to wait. what's the price on that pismo?
btw pismo still looks way cooler than the new pb designs. imho ofcourse.

hey rabattski - thanks for replying. the pismo is currently £200 on ebay - of course that could change drasticaly in the next hour!
i agree - the curves on the old powerbooks are fly

not a bad price. depends on what it has though. memory, diskspace, firewire, etc.
anyways, i dunno what you want to do with it. you can run osx on it but you need lots of ram and it's kinda slow. if it's just for site checking it's an ok machine.
