Somehow, the hinge part of the lid of an aluminum G4 Power Book broke for a friend of mine, and he is looking to by the outer lid, or perhaps the whole display. Or perhaps a whole aluminum G4 sold for parts. Does anyone have one??
Are there other newsgroups or forums where this post is more likely to work?

In a Macintosh news group not an Apple// news group.

Well, as others have said, not here in the Apple II group, but, eBay is loaded with used barebones computers that you can get very cheaply. Give that a try.

On Usenet, people usually abbreviate newsgroup names. "csm" in this case is short for comp.sys.mac, so "csm.portables" would be comp.sys.mac.portables. (This group is often referred to as "csa2" for short, BTW. The 2 is necessary to distinguish it from other groups in comp.sys that begin with an a - for example, the comp.sys.acorn hierarchy.)
