PearPC is at such an early stage, developing an OS in it would not be
the best idea, I think :-)
I would feel robbed paying more than E200 for a 366 or so iMac, so I'm
sure some of the interested parties could afford to buy Axel a middle
aged Powerbook or iBook (600-700, something usable) second hand if he
wanted it. Apples price cuts have suddenly destroyed the once high
residual value of Mac machines - the days when someone could charge
you E700 for a three year old machine are gone as a brand new one is
E849, shipped.
That said Apple Germanys site seems a fair bit more expensive than the
Irish one for some stuff, which could be keeping the machines second
hand values up there...
