Earlier this month I scored a 16gb iPhone 3gs for helping somebody move. It was a nifty toy to me. Without AT&T, it was a glorified iPod. I loved using it for music and surfing the web with wifi was great too. However, I really needed a decent laptop to use. Wound up posting an ad on CL to barter and scored a laptop same day.
It's a Dell Latitude D520 circa 2007 with a 2ghz Core 2 Duo T7200, 15" XGA screen, 2gb memory, good battery (ran it for over three hours, I dunno how old it is), and to make it nicer, the 250gb hard drive is brand new and the laptop had a fresh install of Win7 on it.
Looking back on it, I'm amused and amazed a 3 year old iPhone is worth more than a decent laptop. Unfortunately, now this thing's set up, has all my music and such copied over, I've mostly used the thing to read reviews of it, flip through this messageboard and watch a few youtube videos. Sometimes I think computers are most amusing to me when I'm still in the middle of setting them up or fixing them.
