I would really like a portable computer but I dont have much to spend. An old pismo or lombard would rock. If you have one and are selling it, let me know :D

I've got a pismo I might consider selling. What were you thinking price wise?

Old mac laptops are pricy as hell. I got a 3400, which isn't even a G3... and it was 300. It had a new battery and bag though.

You can get a 3400 for $200. It's pretty much the bare minimum for OS X (you need XPostFacto to run it). It can only be upgraded to 144MB of RAM max - if you'll be running OS X, you'll need every bit of that - and it uses expensive proprietary RAM (about $1/MB). OS X will run so slowly on that machine (180MHz 603e) that you'll practically get a spinning beachball waiting for the spinning beachball to load. It runs OS 7 through 9.0.4 well, though.
