Buffistas

Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I get my tickets from Travelocity, unless I'm going to Jamaica in which case I get them right from the airline site.

I have used sidestep. It was cool.

Why is there so much gardening in LA? Why are they doing it with machinery outside my window when I'm home sick?

Yay for the Zmayhem! The Halloweenie is going to be the Liese/Mr.Liese anniversareenie instead! (Assuming a quick and smooth delivery.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My computer is dead. I'm a wreck. I wasn't expecting this sudden expense, you know?

So I have to make a choice between the iBook and PowerBook listed here: [link]

Can anyone help me with pros/cons? I'm just not that familiar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The only major limitation iBooks have is the cheap graphics cards. Which I think only matters if you play a lot of videogames.

ugh, Allyson, unexpected expense is the suck! I bought a refurbished iBook last year directly from Apple and it was less expensive than the one listed on your link. And it's been a joy! I wanted a Powerbook because ooh bigger! ooh shinier! but I really didn't need it for what I do.

Huh... refurbished Powerbooks? I wonder if they have those....

Yeah, they got them in Intel and G4.

I don't think I can link directly, but go to Apple/ store/ refurbished

refurbished Powerbooks

sure! They have refurbished everything (well whatever they have in stock, not everything is available always). It worked out really well for me. So much cheaper (by like $500 or so) and the computer came loaded with all the latest software and has worked beautifully.

At the Apple store, there's an $799 refurbished 12" iBook G4. That's the same price as the new one on Allyson's link.

eta: Identically configured too.
