This is a used Powerbook with a 15" display and 1.33Ghz G4 processor.
All parts are in great condition, including the battery. There are
several stickers from groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and
Creative Commons proudly arranged on the lid. The ALE connection is that
it's running linux, of course. I'll wipe the drive before selling and
will be glad to help you get your distro of choice set up.

I'm asking $700, $100 less than the "best deal" price listed at
lowendmac.com.
