The only reason I upgraded from my 800Mhz 12.1" iBook G4 is that I got
a great deal on an almost-brand-new 2Ghz MacBook from another list
member (who, thankfully, gave me a payment plan).  Otherwise, it would
still be my main machine.

When work bought me a new laptop (HPaq nc6220), I got to bring my retired
ThinkPad A20p home (it had been a hand-me-down from the guy I replaced, and
only had 256M RAM).  It makes a great Ubuntu portable, with the 1440x1050 
screen.
