I wouldn't exactly say that. I've seen good working Wallstreets going
for up to $200 on the Swap list. Occasionally more. Pismos and Lombards
usually bring $300 to $400 yet. Older G3 Powerbooks are still quite
usable machines, although as each new iteration of OS X comes out, Apple
is trying to leave the older models behind. With the Wallstreet it was
Panther not supported (no built-in USB). But with XPostFacto you can
install Panther anyway. And now with Tiger requiring built-in Firewire,
that leaves out the Lombard, altho someone on the G-Books list installed
Tiger on an external Firewire hard drive, then removed the drive (2.5")
from the case and installed it in his Lombard. He says it works fine, so
I'm sure a new version of XPostFacto (or a simple hack)will be available
soon to make the Firewire requirement a non-issue issue. (Kinda like the
10.1 "upgrade" disc that was actually a full install with the use of a
simple hack.)
