I cleaned out and reorganized a room and found something left behind by the previous resident: a Macintosh Powerbook 145B. It even still works, but I doubt the battery is any good.
I was pretty much staring at this all yesterday, and ended up taking a pic with my iphone. I like the way the only key that has come out clearly is the apple one!
so my dumb ass assistant decided it would be funny to "hide my powerbook" instead being a klutz he dropped it and it was bent REALLY BAD. after 2 hours of taking it apart, bending it back into place, and then making sure all was working (Like the damn optical drive, which had a broken piece of plastic in it) this is what it looks like
In fact, when i first saw it, he wouldnt even fess up to the crime and to boot, he said how do i know that it wasnt already broken. then i couldnt even get a DVD/CD into the machine.
I think he should pay for a replacement 15" Powerbook
I think the part that makes me upset is the fact he wouldn't admit he dropped it. They way i knew he dropped it was there was a large chocolate fingerprint on the lid of my powerbook and all my cables were unplugged. i left it to get coffee from the cafe. The fact of the matter is, he has been pulling stunts like this, such as taking parts out of my PC workstation and putting it into his computer, or taking my office or even car keys out of my desk to move my car as a "joke"
Well i wasn't happy at all. 2 years of not a single incident and this happens. This sorta thing is the same problem i had with my last powerbook and the PMU broke, causing it to constantly restart on me in the middle of work.
The outer sheath is just friction fitted, so a little 'convincing' with a thin screwdriver and some pliers had it pulled back.
This is my old titanium powerbook g4 (gigabit).
After removing the stickers, I listed it on eBay and it was sold within 32 minutes. Amazing.

For this photo, I kept the shutter open for a bit of time, as the terminal text scrolled by. Made for a great effect. I like :-).
My 15" and 12" Powerbooks, with my wife's Compaq tablet PC (powerless book). You can also seem my Palm Tungsten and iMate palmtops
. . . adrift in a sea of ThinkPads.
My sentiments haven't changed: "When you pry it from my cold, dead fingers."
After a replacement screen (and about 2 hours' repair time) the $300 powerbook is alive once again. I found a replacement on eBay for $188, and instructions from www.ifixit.com/, which is also where I bought replacement screws and an inverter board.
Here's my current laptop, for comparison. It was bought about 3 years ago. I baby it, but I did have a tragic accident at home where a cord caught on a door knob and it dropped from my hands (about 4 feet) to the floor. Notice that the case has a much slighter bulge after 3 years of use and one unprotected fall than the two current MacBook Pros I received from the Apple Store.
