Yeah me too.
But a great story.
I am pretty sure i posted about the P-P-P-Powerbook a couple of months ago… Its at and its mega old.P-P-P-Powerbook.Com
If anyone finds the thread on the somethingawful forums I think it’d be an interesting read. I just don’t feel like shelling out $10 so I can use the search function.
How many of you can send FedEx packages from your local post office? I thought they were competitors?
I read the Powerbook story and I’m on part VI of the check one. Any one know if either of these are actually 100% real? They sound real enough but both are a bit far fetched.

If you actually read the thread it is very amusing. One thing I like is that jeffharriss told everyone his password on the phony escrow site and encouraged them to add transactions.
