Just an interest check to see if anyone may want this upgraded Sony Vaio VGN-FW-140D.
Looking for CAD$800, or perhaps best offer, but no lowballers.

Reason why I am selling it at this price is due to more recent upgrades:
- 4GB Kingston PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM (800MHz)
- 320GB Seagate 7200.3 HDD (90MB/s transfer speeds w/ 15-18ms seek times)
Machine is in very good condition, but I just need to fuel the funds needed to get a desktop, or a mobile workstation instead.
I need that extra bit of power to push my real-time Photoshop interaction and 3D CAD (Maya, XSI) rendering speeds.
Cosmetic flaws include slight blemish on the palmrests, a common flaw of the FW family of Vaios.

Canon powershot A75 Camera, looking for $30.
An old 3.2 megapixel camera that has an extensive range of manual options.
Steve's Digicams has a review that probably describes it better than what I can: http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/canon/powershot-a75/canon-powershot-a75-review.html (http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/canon/powershot-a75/canon-powershot-a75-review.html)
Very good picture image quality.
Note that its primary flaw, is that it cannot record video for more than 30 seconds (in QVGA mode), and its recording rate is 15 FPS. At VGA (640x480) mode, it cannot record for longer than 30 seconds.
