I'm still sick over losing it. A really nice woman was selling it but 
she had a very obscure, understated
auction title that didn't mention the hard drive or even the color. 
There were only about 7 of us bidders.
This went for about $1200. At the time, I was unaware that this was a 
steal. It also had some warranty left on it.
If I ever win the lottery, I'll try to bribe my way into a Key Lime 
iBook from Apple's warranty vaults.
I need to focus on getting a newer model G4 or  and cool it on my 
"retro" mac fetish.
  I want a 500 mhz Cube and a 500 mhz Ruby iMac :)
