So I sent the guy an email telling him there was no G5 Powerbook, and this is the response I got:

Actually, our research shows that there is a G5 Powerbook and this is the keyboard for that computer. We get our information from Apple and that shows us that the G4 is an iBook and not a Powerbook. Thanks!

What a moron.

Because Im bored and have nothing to do at all as i have a broken hand I thought I would email this guy for my own amusement. :D

While not totally correct it is basically right. Busted hand equals non comprehensive emails and posts.

Heres what i said:

There is no G5 powerbook. The Powerbook is a G4 along with the
iBook. After the PowerBook Apple went to Intel and produced the
MacBook and MacBookPro. One of the reasons for this move was
because it was not possible to put a G5 chip in a laptop. It used
way too much power and ran extremely hot.

Now im bored again. :(

Kinda like the time I saw a guy post G4 Quad all over his listing, for a MDD G4 Dual 1.25 I laughed really hard at the title, and kept going when i saw it written many more times. Even the little Info blurb under the buying info said Processor: PowerPC G4, Number of Processors: 4.

There are morons everywhere. Some are trying to make a buck fooling others, and some are just plain "di di dee"
