[QUOTE="Canablis, post: 1545812, member: 310941"] I wasn't really attempting to make any generalizations, but honestly, i think i did.. for that i am sorry. Also, i get the original condition thing, I feel the same mostly. But there are so few mods on these notebooks for sale, that honestly, someone with the disposable income and desire for something unique, might be interested. Look at how many people own classic cars. Not the fastest, not the lightest or best handling....A DeLorean: Cannot find parts, and it WILL need them.. I've owned many older macs...99% of my macs were ppc. And still work. I think the mac world is the quickest to forget: PowerPC was the talk of their town until Intel came around....Now, it's like a bad word to the major part of mac sites, except for some dark dingy corner....Like they are ashamed of it or something..Tiger for example, is what I think to be apple's XP..Some think it was 10.5 that is their XP....OLD AS DIRT, BUT STILL **** WELL WORKING...Old never dies...It simply gets buried. I Love these old powerpc macs...Shame there isn't a bigger market...They are still as capable as some mid-range PC's..That is my short explanation about why they still hold a value above zero..Ranting, I know..
