As someone who is probably sending an actual Pismo (G3-500/512/airport/60 gig) 'mo down the road, I ask:
What did you get for it?

They are awesome computers.
I bought a mint condition Pismo 500 in 2003 for $550 off eBay. Runs OS X pretty well and really takes care of my portable needs.
I love my Pismo.

I sold my Pismo--G3-500/768/airport/60 gig/DVD/CD rom/ZIP/power supply--for $475.
I might put it toward a MacBook. Maybe. Watching to see how the plastic-staining issue will be resolved.

NOOOOOO! Not the Pismo! Oh well, guess one has to eventually move on, but I sure do like mine. I admit, I do tend to hold on to things a tad too long, but, hey, this thing does everything I need running Tiger fast enough for me.
Somebody got a great Mac.

Arrrgghhhhh! Bad mommy! Bad mommy!
I gave mine to my sister in law last year. Yes, I like my 17" PB, but I'm still in love with "my" Pismo. I haven't even had a chance to go visit it.
The 17" does let me do some things on the go that the Pismo couldn't handle, but Pis was sooo handsome. And smart. And reliable. I feel like such a traitor to a good friend. Can you tell I still miss it?

My biggest issue is screen brightness. I've done the light replacement (replace light in existing LCD). But it is still dim compared to a modern LCD.
Still, I'll keep using it as long as possible. I'm fortunate enough to have a PowerMac for heavy lifting, so while this old dude is my primary machine, I do have options when I need power.
I was thinking a new MacBook might be a Father's Day option. But I had to buy a new engine for one of our vehicles instead.

dim screen? Pismo is the perfect night-time bed-browser!
