It's still a very usable machine. In fact, Low End Mac rates it a best buy.
Interested? E-mail me: cacomixl at shaw dot ca .
I've set the reserve at a measly $700 CDN, so don't delay.
* Not included
** Also provided: 3 additional 256MB DIMMs with 128MB of usable RAM on each. They increase total RAM to 640MB, because this Mac can't read both side of the cards! They do slow down restarts significantly because of the RAM check time, so I've taken them out.
The Skinny is officially on fire, blogwise. Grant and I have been posting our hineys off.
So apparently, I'm the last of my friends to have heard of and enjoyed Mark Morford's delicious columns and newsletter from SFGate.com. Sigh. I particularly enjoyed his 'Mullet Haiku':

Damn, but I love that Pitchfork attitude! Check this news item:
"Manchester post-punk icons The Fall are about to release their latest platter of throbbing rhythms and ranting, Tristan Tzara-like lyrics on Action Records in the UK. Entitled The Real New Fall L.P., the album will be released on October 27th, to the delight of modern punk fetishists, obsessive record collectors and original scenesters who remember hanging out with Fall singer Mark E. Smith at the Rough Trade shop in Kensington Gardens in '79. When reached for comment, the notoriously crotchety Smith reportedly muttered, 'Sod off you monkey-racheting elastic carbuncles!' We have no idea what that means either. Gullible readers should be aware that the preceding quote is fake, and also should ponder this question: how do you keep a gullible person in suspense? I'll tell you tomorrow."
Lately I've been doing a lot of blogging on The Skinny. Seems I'm all blogged out when it comes to Cacomixl.
This site needs a revamp...
