RAMBUS cheaper

the register notes that Rambus RIMMs have gotten much cheaper over the last months, but still remain fairly expensive. But with the continuing trend downwards, we might see equal prices of RDRAM and SDRAM one day, maybe.

PowerBook refund

Slashdot notes that Apple is taking back old PowerBooks 5300 and 190. These models often had trouble, like expolding batteries etc and Apple wants to pull them off the market, so they don't have to support them anymore. You'll get a new PowerBook of the current product line for 1800$, about 700$ cheaper than normal, according to the PowerBook Zone.
