iBooks! $50! First come first Serve!

Published on July 27, 2005 By Dr Guy In Personal Computing

This is the part of the experiement of the henrico School Board, and the paid agent of Apple who ripped off the county for no gain but his own pocket.

They switched to Dell, so they are dumping their old iBooks! Out of Warranty, the only thing they guarantee is that they are working when you buy them!

750mhz (local radio guy said 750 mb! What a putz!). OSX (If I had to guess, I would say 10.2.x.

Read the Article and be the first on your block to get one cheap!

Catch: Limit 1 to a customer.

I really want one very much. Only problem is I don't have the means to get to the east coast.

Sorry about that. My wife wants one as well, so I may be standing in line.

If I lived nearby I'd grab one, but Richmond is a bit of a hike for an iBook.

People are flying from CA? After the plane ticket, they're paying more for a 4yr old iBook than they would off of eBay.

The latest is they have already received 1500 inquiries (and the sale is not for another 2 weeks), so I am going to talk my wife out of it! I dont need to face a mad house crowd of thousands vying for a few.

You might want to wait. This is just the first sale. The county bought about 11k of them for the students. At the end of their school days, the students have the option of buying them or just turning them in. Since most Colleges strongly recommend Wintel, the students are dumping them. I expect a lot more sales in the months ahead.

Why would anyone want to actually pay for a Mac? Jeeze . . . I'd only take one if it was free . . .
