Back before Christmas I was wasting time on eBay when I found a PowerBook G3 for only £30.
Did I need such a machine? I did not. Did I randomly bid on and win it anyway? I did!
I won the PowerBook itself for £31.01, the postage was £12.50 and then I spent a further £8.93 on the USB PCMCIA card. So it’s really a £52.44 PowerBook, I guess…
Not only did it come with a snazzy faux-leather case, it also came with a battery (holds a whole 10 minute charge…), a power supply (though I had to chase the eBayer a little for that as it wasn’t included in the original parcel…) and a LaCie Zip-100 drive, that even works if you can find any Zip disks to put inside of it.
