Powerbook G3 Wallstreet

Hey all, It's been a while since I've been active in the community, and I actually had a point where I got rid of most of my Macs since then. I'm slowly getting back involved in the community, since I have the money to start putting in to machines that need work/upgrades. 

I saw an untested Powerbook G3 on a local listing for $10, and I couldn't resist. It didn't come with a power adapter, but it had the IO panel and everything looked in pretty nice shape from the pictures. I meet the guy, get the machine, and it's quite the beautiful specimen. It only has a little bit of wear on the space bar and zero wear on the trackpad. Machine is in great shape. When I plugged my power adapter in, it booted to an empty copy of OS 9, it came with microsoft word 2001, Limewire (lol), and that's about it.

I installed Adobe Illustrator on the machine, and I'm looking for a recommendation for a drawing tablet, I made a thread about it in the peripherals board.

Sweet score! I still love my Pismo.  There's something about those black PowerBooks!  BTW, I have an ADB Wacom tablet.  No software and no stylus though.  PM me if you're interested.
