[geeks] Old Powerbooks available

[John Lee]

I'm pretty sure the 1400cs won't run OS X, if only because it is a
NuBus machine. I've heard stories of Linux being run on it, and
MkLinux definitely will. NetBSD doesn't support the machine.

I'm tempted to get the machine myself, but upgrading doesn't seem like
a very viable option. The Sonnet G3/466 upgrade costs $300, and for
that money, it seems better to save up for a Pismo, or try to find a
Wallstreet. In any case, I shouldn't be accumulating computers. :-) I
have enough space issues as it is.
