Well, it had to happen at some point, and why not now?

I am selling my beloved Dell Inspiron 8000 now that I've made the Switch to Mac. This machine served me amazingly well for almost two years, and is in excellent condition. Readers of my blog are going to get first crack at it, and if it remains unsold in a week or so, I'm going to put it up on eBay. Here are the full specs:

Dell Inspiron 8000

• 1GHz Pentium III Processor
• 384MB RAM (1-128 and 1-256 MB SODIMM)
• 40GB IBM/Hitachi Travelstar Hard Drive (brand new, under warranty)
• 32MB nVidia GeForce 2 Go
• 15" UXGA Screen (1600x1200 native resolution, one pixel stuck on red near the upper right corner of the screen; usually ends up where a scrollbar is; I rarely notice it)
• DVD-ROM drive in the fixed bay
• CD-RW drive in the multipurpose bay (yes, there are two optical drives on this laptop... you will get those second looks on the plane when you pop open both drives)
• Built-in 10/100 Ethernet and 56kbps modem
• Floppy Drive (replaces the CD-RW drive in the multipurpose bay)
• S-Video/Composite Video/S/PDIF output dongle
• Dell Power Supply
• Battery is one year old, replaced by Dell last July

There are some accessories that I no longer need which I'd like to sell with the machine, if only to make unloading them easier on me.

• Lind Electronics Auto/Air Adapter
• Linksys Instant Wireless 802.11b PC Card
• Targus Premier Nylon Carrying Case

For readers of my blog, I'm selling this for $600, plus shipping. This offer is good until I decide to put the machine up on eBay. If you're interested, drop me an e-mail at my current public e-mail address, 0306fet@jetlin.com. Questions can of course be directed to the same address.
