Dear Gurus, I'm a professional writer. Most of my considerable computer time is with WordPerfect 7.6. I use the Internet for research and email. I can't get DSL. My 2400c/240 has accompanied me to Albania and Sonoma and crossed the Rockies in my saddlebag. It has played MP3's through my car stereo on a 26 hour drive (stops for gas) Virginia/Sturgis SD. Alas, it has visited DT&T three times in as many years: power board, processor, mother board. While my 40 g hard drive is partitioned into 7.6.1, 8.6 and 9.1 - I like 7.6. I am not particularly interested in mastering new software and am indifferent to the pleasures of OSX. But I would like to run cooler and faster. So I want to buy a 320 or 400 Vimage copper processor. If that processor is in a machine that's fine - but it's the processor I want. I've not seen a processor for sale on EBay in two years. There've been no more than a half dozen 320/400 machines in that time. So here's my offer. Some on the list who own 320's and 400's are considering a G3/12.1 ibook. On Ebay, they're going for 700-1100$. Others might have already bought the ibook and have their 320/400 2400 on a shelf because they love it and can't let it go. Let it go to me. I'll pay $350 for a working 320 processor. $450 for a 400. If you don't want to extract the processor, I'll take your machine, swap processors and sell it on ebay. For a 320/400 machine, in good shape I'll pay $180 more:$530/630. You can come close to swapping your 320/400 for a G3 ibook and I'll have the fastest 7.6 in the universe - seems like a deal to me. Please post me privately. Donald McCaig Yucatec Farm Williamsville, Virginia 24487 USA
