Sounds like you got a good deal there. :O

yeah not too bad of a deal. im planning on getting the sawtooth up and running and then using it for my backup/downloading machine. it will be replacing my current yikes g4.

You do realize that with each passing post that you make in here, you're making us more and more jealous?

no. the yikes and the 5300 were both my friends personal machines. the gigabit g4 was a customer machine
Posted by: MacG4 on 2007-06-19 06:24:15
no the 5300 is a very basic stock unit. 8mb ram/greyscale screen/loaded with mac os 7.5.5 . machine however is in like mint condtion, looks like new. inside the laptop case i found an older repair sheet from 2000 that says it had some of the case plastics and keyboard replaced.
