At last! After a summer of mowing lawns and not spending a single cent, I (In 3-5 business days) will be the proud owner of a brand-new Apple 15.2 inch TFT display, PowerBook G4 1.25GHz, 512mb RAM, ATI RADEON 9600 mobile 64mb vRAM, 167mhz FSB, 80GB 4200RPM HD, AirPort Extreme, bluetooth, backlit keyboard, combo drive (CD Burner), firewire 400 and 800, and last but not least, USB and USB2! I am paying for half and my parents are paying for half. I would post pictures when it arrives, but my dad is taking the digital camera to Tibet for 1 month, so here are some pictures of other people's powerbooks:

I thought Ibooks were mac? I like them, they're cool. I used them for summer school. Because you see, I took computer literacy before I was a freshman, so I got it out of the way and everything.
