PowerBook G4 In-Store Demo CD?

[Amethyst1]

Just stumbled upon this: https://www.ebay.de/itm/223304386482 (MODS: NOT MY AUCTION!!!). Does anybody know what's on there?

EDIT: Here's a picture of the disc in question.

I’ve wanted these for all of my Macs. Never seen even a disk image online.

Not sure exactly what's on there, but I'd guess part of it at least is the cool screensaver demos they use on the Macs running in Apple Stores. If you or anyone here end up with one, please post the disk image somewhere!

Yeah, I remember them from the days I worked in a retail store. They're interactive applications with embedded movie clips.

There's a couple of in-store demo CD images for the iMac and PowerMacs on a certain well known Mac software site. Not seen the PowerBook one though.

I'm willing to bid on it but I'm not in Germany so I asked the seller wether they would ship it to Belgium

 

[Lastic]

Shipping would cost me 3 EUR so I started to bid on it, it's at 2 EUR.
Hopefully the price won't be rising to a ridiculous amount, if I do win the auction , I will create an image of the CD.

Lesson 1: Read everything, then start to bid

I ignored that

At 8.50 EUR currently...

I have the "July 2002" disk. I'll upload a copy of it for y'all.

Did you win the auction ? I'm confused now, I didn't win the auction just to be clear.

I did, I usually start with 10€ for everything I bid on - usually I have to increase a few seconds later, but this is the first time it was enough ^^

Ah OK glad that it was you who won the auction, luckily I didn't start a bidding war :X

I Unintentionally started it in the first place, I am sorry for that

Finally I came to uploading it to MacintoshGarden, had some stressful weeks... See here please
Yes, it is a .cdr and has no hash sum checking, but that will follow - as soon as I have my AlBook around me again. TiBook and the two iBooks refuse to create a .dmg with check sum and end up with a weird error

Now there is!

Sweet!

Except... I don’t have a PBG4! I wonder if it will run on my iMac?

It runs on an iBook, but looks pretty bad, as it doesn't resize the screen resolution. It uses it's hard coded TiBook screen res
