For Sale: Hunk Of Sleek Magic

Love, lust, memory, a million whirling words.
Our columnist sells his most divine appliance

For sale: Perhaps the most astounding appliance ever to exist in the history of the known universe, ever. Cheap.

This device, it is simply packed with magic. Crammed. Oozing. Power and mad desire and creative force and cute little blinking things.

I know this to be true. I am convinced the device has been touched by divine electric spark and beauty and aesthetic grace and because of this it is, in a way, priceless. But, nevertheless, I am asking about $1,150 for it. And it's worth every penny.

And, yes, this machine, this gorgeous used PowerBook titanium G4, it is for sale. It is time to upgrade, expand, more and bigger and faster -- and, yet, I must pay proper homage. It must find the right home. The machine deserves it.
