Other sellers are offering the same batteries for 30 quid, so it's probably a silly typing error...

Yet another[and we're inundated with them]reason to buy a windows based system.

The only thing I'm inundated with are requests from friends and family asking me to come round and fix their Windows PCs.

macs are pretty but not worth the cost..

Example 1:
My last Mac Mini was bought new for £399 in late 2006. I sold it in mid 2009 for £295.
Total cost of ownership for 2.5 years = £399 - £295 = £104.
There aren't many two-and-half-year-old PCs that will sell for 75% of their original asking price.

Example 2:
After a friend phoned me for a chat and just happened to mention that his "XP machine wouldn't start and did I know anything about it...", I checked eBay and found an auction for a G3 iMac running OS X that was 'Pick up only' about 7 miles from me. I told my friend about it saying that it would be fine for web browsing and e-mail, but he said he wouldn't be able to afford it.

It sold for £1.70.

It was a G3 iMac (like the one in the photo), so probably about ten years old. I think at that age, people think of such machines as "past it" and "useless" and are glad to get rid of them.

The funny thing is, the one that sold for £1.70 was an iMac DV, named after its ability to edit digital video -- so it would still have been easily capable of web browsing, e-mail, word processing and some photo editing.

Ah well, some people just need the space...
