If you want a "cheap" 12" Powerbook, you can get a new 12" G4 iBook with a SuperDrive pre-installed for $1294: <http://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc? Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MTOS&Product_Code=APP-M9164LLA> You save yourself about $500, with which you can buy a 1GB RAM stick for the G4 iBook: <http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm? Category=2443&CFID=1370230&CFTOKEN=84195222&RequestTimeOut=500> and still have some money left over for an Apple wireless mouse and other accessories.
