A bunch of years ago I got a new Mac and wanted to sell the old one, 
a Quadra 900. A very _large_ item. I put it in the local Buy&Sell 
paper, and on Sunday morning got a call from an interested party.

Turned out he was passing through Vancouver, and remembered that he 
had promised the people he was going to visit that he was going to 
bring a Mac. He needed one right away, before 3pm.

So I managed to sell that one for a good price, and my last knowledge 
of it was that it was on its way to Fiji. I guess there wasn't a Mac 
laptop available in Vancouver at the time, but that 900 was about as 
far from portable as a personal computer could get.
