Just to let you know in case you don't have particularly good luck on
the
gray market, Sun Remarketing (
http://www.sunrem.com) is selling
refurbished
PowerBook 5300 (grayscale!) 8/500 systems for $199.00.
Yes, these machines do have a reputation for being a service nightmare,
but
assumedly since this is a refurb system it will have been checked out,
and
Sun would offer some warranty on it as well. It is a PowerPC based
system,
so you'd end up with even a little more power than the '040 machines
that
you were searching for.
Not a bad price on a used PowerBook, especially when compared to other
resellers like Shreve. Just thought you might like the pointer.
