[dorkbotnyc-blabber] PowerBook 12" G4 Spare Parts free for the taking in Midtown.

[jeb boniakowski]

Bill--  Still have those powerbooks?  I'm right around the corner (30th and
7th) and I would be interested in picking one up.  The DVI one-- I had an
old PB with a bad inverter, which meant the thing ran fine but the screen
didn't work, so you could use it as a project computer as long as you didn't
need a screen.  Do you think your DVI is in a similar state?
