UPDATE: Congratulations to Aaron and Victor, winners of the Old Powerbook Giveaway! Updates on how to buy a Mac cheap coming soon!

First time here? Welcome! Learn more about me here, or at Twitter, or Facebook. IT Arsenal is all about being available and supporting online entrepreneurs in their daily use of technology with troubleshooting, website work, newsletters, digital products, and backup. Get in touch for free consulting and to answer a few questions.

As business shifts around here at IT Arsenal discovering how I can serve you (web entrepreneurs) best, one thing is for certain, I’ll always be about giving and service. Giving is what IT Arsenal runs on! Today I want to give away TWO laptops that have done me great service over the last few years.

They are by no means new, but are still very much useful. They still have a lot of kick and I’m sure a couple people out there could really use these. That’s my hope at least!

The machines are strictly “as is” Apple Powerbooks, but they’re guaranteed to turn on, surf the web and come preloaded with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Anyone can enter the giveaway. Start your first online business, get in good graces and gift it to a family member or watch DVD’s on it. It’s up to you. See pictures, how to snag one and some usage ideas for these older machines below!
