This is not Elfen posting but his youngest daughter, he's in the hospital for observation as it looks like its a bad allergy issue that is he undergoing. Details tomorrow when I get them. But I'm posting for him.
He just received as a large screen Powerbook G4 from a friend who upgraded to an Intel MacBook. Thing is, this Powerbook, though it still works, has seen too many airport luggage gorillas and has more dents and dings on it than a five car wreck on the freeway. This laptop has been around the world a coupe of times and its lucky it was never stolen. There's a large dent on the battery vents side when keeps the PCMCIA slot from ejecting though the slot works. There's another on the back of the LCD that makes the LCD Head stiff to open though it does open. The metal on the other port side is dented lightly in making the ports stick out slightly. The Palm Rest above the CD/DVD Drive has separated. There are quite a few gouges in the metal on the sides and bottom. Either the LCD frame or the bottom from has a slight bend to it - the center is closer to edge than the outer corners in a flatten U-shape.
Otherwise, its a clean machine, only used for basic mobile office use, boots up on 10.4 just fine on it a crisp clean large screen, larger than daddy's little 12in Powerbook he uses. We'll be formatting the drive and transferring his apps and files to this machine. But the case needs work. How to do it?
He's taught us PC and Mac Repairs and we're handy with his tools.
