Because you built a custom PC! lol... I got mine with student loan money.Oh god, why do i have to not have any money. It is terrible.
Hah, I thought that was a Dell the first time I saw it. But I have a question for you - why would you trade a comparitively high-spec & modern Mini for an old slow laptop? I'm hoping by 'trade' you got something else as well as the laptop?Traded my 1.83GHz Core Duo mini for it.
867MHz
768MB RAM
60GB HD
15" (you know that)
no paint wear, great hinges, no keyboard marks, barely used

Nice...out of all the Apple 'books I've owned, that was my favorite. I had the 667mhz model.

Surely you could've sold the mini, used a fraction of the money to buy the old laptop & kept the rest for something else? If you swapped the mini solely for the laptop, wasn't that a huge rip-off?Because I felt like it. No, really, I write for Low End Mac as my primary source of income now, and I prefer writing on a laptop to writing on a mini. Also, my old PowerBook (a 667MHz with a busted screen) and I go a long way back!

That's completely crazy! Why are people prepared to part with so much money for such a dated machine?There's another on CL right now (actually 10 but only one's left) for $600. They're actually, at least in my market, worth a lot more than the mini.
Besides, I tend to go with my gut and not my brain on business decisions. In my area, $400 would have gotten me a 400MHz TiBook if I was lucky.
