I haven't got a clue what it's worth but I'll give you £100 for it.

I've just found some similar ones on eBay - most of which are faster:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/15-Apple-Power...QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apple-Powerboo...QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PowerBook-G4-T...QQcmdZViewItem

Possibly worth keeping an eye on to give you an indication of final selling price.

Don't sell it! You will never get what it is really worth.

Oh right.

Well, since the cheapest MacBook available now is £749.00, I would not pay more than £150.00, tops. But even then, a basic new MacBook still looks an attractive option.

Thinking about it, I expect you are in MacBook Pro territory if you are looking for a PowerBook.

If you switch to a Mac, you will never look back. Trust me.

I can 100 per cent recommend an Apple Mac and OS X.
