| Ok, so i bought Japanese Powerbook 165 | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-03-06 11:25:03 Why? I have no idea. I think the price was reasonable. 🙂 http://www.ebay.com/itm/221194806594?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 | |
| Posted by: Brett B. on 2013-03-06 12:34:21 Neat-o. Hope you can get it working, I'm also curious which power supply you'll get with it. One of the pictures shows a 5xx series PS. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-03-06 12:59:05 well i better get both. they said what you see is what you get, i see 2 power bricks i want em, 🙂 the other 5x brick is needed for my beater 540c it's falling apart. | |
| Posted by: TheMacGuy on 2013-03-06 13:35:18 I don't buy from people on eBay who are to lazy to type out you and use "u" instead. It abso-freaking-lutely drives me up the wall.  Same with craigslist sellers. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-03-06 13:49:38 well this ebay seller, They are also selling makeup, and high heels (size 10), and dominatrix clothing etc… Comic books…. Electronics parts…. Interesting Assortment 🙂 The profile picture is of a lady i think. There is quite a wide variety of personalities out there on the inter web 🙂 | |
| Posted by: Brooklyn on 2013-03-06 14:32:05 I wonder if it has any japanese programs on it. | |
| Posted by: TheMacGuy on 2013-03-06 15:04:29 I almost forgot, welcome to the B&W 165 club! | |
| Posted by: jongleur on 2013-03-06 15:41:49 Nice catch - and we have similar purchase criteria. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-03-06 17:02:21 I'll check when I get it, and tell you what I find on the hard drive in this thread. Man if this somehow has a working hard drive, that would be a real treat! | |
| Posted by: Cosmo on 2013-03-06 21:47:47 Quickly reading first thought in my head was you got this...  Nice catch anyway for that low price! | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-03-06 22:34:48 no, i wish, however, now that i have a Japanese keyboard, and a PowerBook 170 already, i can get some spray paints, and convert it.!!!!!! What do you think? should i? 🙂 | |
| Posted by: mcdermd on 2013-03-06 23:22:40 I think those are the ugliest PowerBooks ever! :lol: More to the point, what's with the alternate system font on that LegoBook, anywhys? | |
Posted by: TheMacGuy on 2013-03-07 00:25:52however, now that i have a Japanese keyboard, and a PowerBook 170 already, i can get some spray paints, and convert it.!!!!!!I vote no, but its your computer now. 🙂 I'm always for keeping things original. | |
Posted by: Juror22 on 2013-03-07 22:01:51however, now that i have a Japanese keyboard, and a PowerBook 170 already, i can get some spray paints, and convert it.!!!!!!The color matching is going to be tough! I think that is an awesome find, though, congrats! | |
