just make sure you get some hands on time before buying, I would still get a few of them though and e-bay them. Hell, I'll buy one.

I saw this deal elsewhere -- I would say it's definitely worth $50. It's too bad I can't buy one myself, as I would like to have an iBook but don't have much money for it right now.

That thread was about the exact same deal, so you're not going to find out any new information from it, but if you really want to see it, I can look it up.

Nice deal, you could probly ask family/friends to get one and you give them the 50$ for it and make some money selling them on ebay.

I agree with Tin. You could make a special deal for us PCMech folks
 I'd take one at that price!
