So, I'm at work and I saw on the coffee bar someone left a number of papers advertising a Power Mac G4 for "SALE". It says 2 GB Ram, 133 Ghz bus (she meant Mhz, LOL), comes with a crappy printer and 2 ink cartridges. She wants $1800 or best offer. LOL, are people serious? This is a 6 year old computer and costs more than a new Mac, I believe. I had to hold it in to not go back and write "RIPOFF" on all the pages. Ridiculous. A used Mac G4 is worth what? $300 maybe?

Hit me with feedback. I'm not a Mac user, so I don't know too much about them, but that's a 6 year old computer around 600/700-ish Mhz, right?

s**t. so you're saying i could have gotten her down to 1700??

[quote]she probably meant to say 1.33 GHz... Powermac processors are up to 3 GHz now.

She said bus, not processor. Now you may be right and she meant 1.33 Ghz processor. Even so... it's not worth close to $1800 for a used one. Macs are up to G5.

That's one of those Grey/Steel/Silver looking computers by Apple I believe. It's almsot 7 yrs old depending on Processor speed. It should be about $400-600 dollars tops if it's loaded 2GB Ram is good but how big is the hard drive, what kind of video card does it have and does it have a burner in it? The printer used as a throw in is actually a detriment to the SALE

$1800-2000 what it cost when it was released.

It's a joke. I'm on a Mac. I'd buy a new one every year if I could get that kind of return on investment.

^ HAHAHA. I should post your "SALE" on the coffee bar.

just buy my Pentium Pro... i'll even throw in a slightly used original copy of WarCraft along with the Expansion pack CD... you can't get a deal like that on Craigslist if you tried!
