powermax.com prices are absurd
Has anyone else noticed how jacked up powermax.com's prices are. I mean, who would pay hundreds of dollars for a used 601 machine? No one, unless of course you're out of your mind. Then that's a different ballgame. But all powermax does it take peoples used powermacs which they buy from them for absolute bottom dollar, clean them up and try to make a pretty little profit off them. I mean, who in the blue, green, and white of hell would pay $199 for a machine that goes on ebay all the time for the same money you would pay for a box of timbits?
mmm, timbits...
On the school playground, two kids in kindergarten were arguing about something, and one of them started crying. A teacher comes up to them and asks what is wrong. The kid who is crying points to the other kid and goes "he insulted my operating system!"

Timbits?

Obviously not Canadian. 
Timbits are what some people might call "donut holes." For lack of a better description, they're bite-size little balls of donut dough, baked like a donut. They're sold at Tim Hortons, Canada's largest donut chain (I counted, and there are at least fifty in the Hamilton area alone, a city of about 500,000), and you can get twenty Timbits for a toonie.
Whoops... more Canadiana there... toonie is our nickname for our two-dollar coin.
Hope that's enlightening, eh?

I love timbits. If the Americans knew about them they would want to become the 4th territory.

Even without the Timbits, I wanna become the 4th territory. Merka has lost its way. If Canada was in Mexico, I'd be living there already.

Hey waitaminute, here. This topic went off-topic on the first reply. 
How about this: From what I've seen, PowerMax has some pretty decent prices on G3 systems and the one I got came in pretty good condition.
