This is my brother's previous Apple PowerBook 15''.
He sold it to one of his friend.
This guy dropped it in the concertina vestibule of a tram.
Here is the result.
It still works and the guy still uses it.
Whilst I might not look excited, I am very excited by my new spunky dunky 12" powerbook. Isn't it just so pretty?

Desktop Background for February 2007 on my Apple PowerBook G4.
Instead of getting a brand new Macbook Pro and having to update to CS4, I decided to just get a new to me 12" G4 Powerbook. My 17" Powerbook, Hermie, still works and I get all my work done without any problem (other than being slower than the newer MBP's).
I primarily got Howie so I can be mobile again! The idea of doing work outside of my home office is quite exciting!!! He is fully loaded and is has the same specs as Hermie, except for the RAM (Hermie has 2GB, Howie has 1.25GB).
Prototypes are tracked internally at Apple & are destroyed once they have fulfilled their testing purposes, this makes any prototype rare as they have somehow escaped Apples clutches. Originally there probably would have been a few dozen of these made. How many “AJ” Prototypes are left in the world today would be a guess, probably less a half dozen if that. This model was introduced to the public in August 1995.
This is a screenshot of "Temperature Monitor" which graphs the output from thermometers in your Mac.
It basically fluctuates between 50 and 64 degrees Celsius (120 and 146 F), at which point the little fans kick in. Both of em. They don't do much so I also have a small (9" diameter) clamp-on fan which I have pointed at the back of the Powerbook, which is raised up on two thin wood slats so there is circulation.
In the above shot you can see when the fan is on. The temperature drops fast. Turning it of causes the temperature to rise just as quickly though. This was taken with no "heavy apps" running. Just my email (Mail.app), IM (Adium) and browser (Camino, which had no windows open).
The only thing I can attribute this heat to is a) a possibly faulty Power Supply board and b) the video card running the external monitor.
64°C is hot. Water boils at 100.
Anybody wanna compare? Grab the app and upload screenshots with setup descriptions?
I noticed a few weeks ago that one of the memory slots on my PowerBook was no longer working and only 1G of memory was showing up. It was still under warranty so I dropped it off at the Apple store on the 16th. I got it back today. They not only replaced the faulty motherboard but also replaced the bottom and top case which had some cosmetic damage that I had inflicted when installing a faster hard drive, nice bonus! And even though there were a million people in there buying iPods I still was in and out in about 15 minutes. Good work Apple.
I just popped my powerbook open, and instead of saying that it would calculate the remaining time, it showed me this nice figure (only for a few seconds unfortunately).
The connector for the sleep switch and LED now occupying it's new home on the back of the powerbook.
first the superdrive crapped out, then the hard drive shit all over itself......you served me well powerbook :-( .....I am surprised it lasted this long with everything I have put it through....
it will go in a box and when I return from Italy in a year I will see about reviving the poor old thing....
