lolo ... that's funny.
Hmmm, if such a listing occured I wonder if that would be prostitution?
Speaking of eBay recently a buddy of mine bid on a iBook 14" new for $985 and did the purchase now thingy, he got his email to inform him to pay some bloke in Germany. So he wrote back asking for escrow since the auction was supposed to be in the states. lolo ... no answer yet
Doesn't eBay do anything about all the jerks out there trying to rip people off? yahoo auction in Japan is not any close to such scams ... hmmm
bummer cuz it really was a good deal.
openoffice + gimp + sketch ...

He he, I did. In particular:
"That night I dreamed of Mr. Christmas and a baseball bat, some duct tape, and roofing nails. "
"Two Chicago residents replied, and the next morning, courtesy of Tim, I had 23 pictures of the house, the cars in the driveway (with license plate numbers) and the neighborhood. I'd like to see a Dell user do something like that at 4:30 in the morning for a complete stranger a thousand miles away."
Ahhhh, the warmth of the Mac community

It's easier for small groups to stay warm
But it is a great story.

Hehe, I think that's the longest article I've ever read from beginning to end....a satisfying conclusion though.
However as a pc user it would have enraged me enough to take the same action too :)

Another incident was about a guy using timbuktu to scan the net for his or his sister's (???) stolen mac. He remote accessed in and got the machine's IP number and bingo got the machine back.
