ebay

Ebay is a very good place to learn things. It is a good reserch tool. For example I bought a used apple powermac g5 dual 2 ghz computer. So far it is very nice. One must look at alot of listings to learn offered features and value. Mine had the correct model number but the wrong processer description. so I ended up with a 2003 (dual processer) vs 2005 (dual core). There was more than enough information in the listing but I failed to reconize it. Neither could run snow lepord and Im running lepord but the extra 8 gig of ram would have been nice. Using ebay listings I have learned a lot of company history and product offerings for numerous toppics such as my topper Johnny lightning collection. My computer is awsome and ny error has allowed me to find out about and buy the video card that will drive the dual 30 " displays for a very small amount. I found it listed for 139 to 700 (all used). I bought the $139.00 one. Im going to see if the sony handy cam I have will connect via firewire like the one I saw on Ebay listed for $209.00. Some guys are using them as their webcam using record without a tape installed. It also provides a way to download all the old family videos into the computer onto a more usefull and shareable media.
