I want to know if anyone is interested in this.

It is in good condition. There is a scratch on the screen that isnt really noticeable. It is toward the top. A few stuck pixels.

There are a few bulges in the casing. Nothing really serious though. There is also a scuff on the front near the latch.

It works great. No problems at all. It comes with the original manual and install disks. It came with OS X 10.2.3. It also has the Hardware test CD. 2 chargers included, as well as a like new Apple Mouse (not mighty). I should have a couple video adapters as well.

There is one special thing about this Powerbook. It is a Japanese model. It has the kotoeri keyboard. Which is nice you want to learn Japanese, or know it already. It has buttons that allow you to switch easily. For those who dont care about Japanese, no worries you can use the keyboard with the English language just fine. Without any intrusion of Japanese.

Specs:
867Mhz G4
640MB of RAM(I think this is the Max, but I have heard people say it can do 1.25GB)
40GB Hard Drive
CDRW/DVD combo
Battery gets about 4 hours (does not fall in the battery recall serials)
Airport
Bluetooth

It is a fun little laptop. Selling because I think I want a Macbook.

$450 shipped in the US. Will trade for Mac Pro 2x512MB kit, plus cash.

Hi!

Does this include 10.4 installed, by chance? I am really interested in buying this PB from you. I have a MacBook, but it is really nice to have a second computer. Hopefully you won't miss your little PowerBook.

Would you do PayPal?

Why thank you! I will enjoy it. It is actually going to be used as my desktop :P

If you would like it instead, I suppose I could sell it to you right away :P
