Steve, Congrats on the new Al-PowerBook G4. I got the same model, only I traded in my Ti-PowerBook G4 400MHz to AppleService for the no-fuss no-muss trade-in program. Really is a beautiful machine -- Murphy's law always rules when buying these sort of things. 1.5 GHz PB G4's will arrive in stores faster than I can finish payment for this laptop. Kudos on the 512 card. Mine has 2x256 cards. Drat... Looks like I'll have a paperclip attached to a 256 Mb card for a my new Christmas Ornament soon. - J __________ On Wed, 24 Mar 2004 1:39am, Steve Martin wrote: > I just got one of the 15" 1.25Ghz refurbs from the Apple Store. > > Display is perfect, no stuck pixels. > > Even though everything I read said it would have 2 256Mb memory cards > installed, it came with one 512Mb card and one empty slot.
