366 GRAPHITE iBOOK SE FOR SALE: 320 MB, AIRPORT CARD

[Jay Boshara]

Thanks, Harry (and Jack too).  Live and learn.  I assumed that because I
paid for all that software I could just leave it on the iBook when I sold
it.  But alas, now I'll just have to sell it with only Jaguar (because I can
include the Jag CDs, right?).  Anyway, it's a great iBook, so if anyone's
interested, it's here:
