It's not sharp, but I couldn't be arsed. Was too excited to start using it to look at the quality of the quick shot taken as a memento. :-)
Here's the old 40GB hard drive. About to pull it out and install the shiny new 160GB drive in it's place..
After 4 years the only really cool laptop from Apple (12" PowerBook) finally gets its worthy successor.
Recently I noticed that there was a black mark developing on the right side of my powerbook. I figured it was just dirt and it would could off next time I cleaned the powerbook. After using iKlear (what I clean my pb with once a week as directed) it didnt come off. Upon further inspection I noticed that it was a mark and the paint had been taken off in that spot.
My question is has anyone else had this problem? Or have any solutions?
A brutally curtailed, Flickr-friendly edit of a short video presentation of my ancient 17" PowerBook G4, shot -filmed? - entirely with a 5D2, a 50mm f/1.4, and a sturdy tripod:

Here are my smallest to largest computers. At the very small end of the scale is my Sony Clie UX 50 (Palm powered) which has wifi and bluetooth. Next up is my longest lasting computer, a Toshiba Libretto 100CT which dual boots Windows 98 and Linux. Last and certainly NOT least is my 17 inch Powerbook running Mac OS Tiger.
For the longest time, I’ve been wanting to take a picture of this quote in front of Powerbooks Greenbelt. But every time I pass by it, it’s always rush hour and I’m don’t like to stop infront of it and take a picture.
Good thing when we went to Greenbelt last month, it was past midnight already. I asked Joan to take the picture (since she was the one holding my camera). I love this quote. It reminds me of my soulmate book, “By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept”. I fell in love with it.

We had a Powerbook G4 that was drop tested. It didn't pass. I got the idea from Free Geek to use the display as a picture frame. When Mark Richards' excellent photo of Woz's Apple 1 came up on 20x200, I knew what to do.
I separated the frame from the display, (not an easy task), mounted the photo to the display, added a piece of glass, and then reattached the front of frame. The back will be used on a future project...
Help from Art Media on the mounting.
Mein Powerbook G3, kurz nachdem ich es bekommen hatte. Auch "Forest Gump" genannt, da Forest, auf die Frage, was mit seinem Geld gemacht worden wäre, im Film antwortet "Er hat es in irgendwas mit Obst investiert" und stolz eine Aktie von "Apple Computer" zeigt.
Bekam es geschenkt, mit kaputter Festplatte (also er bootete noch ein paar mal, dann war ende), hab mir eine andere (mit 8 gig) eingebaut.
Zustand ist eher schlecht, aber er läuft noch

The results from our first vaccuming of part of the bedroom with our new Dyson DC07. It's good. We like it.

after I dropped it. Had to hit it with a hammer to get the power lead to fit, but everything else worked fine
Ubuntu decided to work today. This is the 5.04 PowerPC LiveCD running on a 12" Powerbook G4. It's pretty snappy when running natively on a PPC. Though i'm unlikely to ever install it on a Mac.
For a first impression of a Linux LiveCD it is good. Sure it's a little slower to load than a native install, and there are a few restrictions, but once all the setup screens are out of the way and Gnome is loaded, it really does work.
Ubutu is a nice little Distro too, simple to set up and a very easy to use system. Plus it's Windows networking support is brilliant.
We rearranged the books to fit another shelf into the hall. Now we don't have piles of books on the floor - hooray.
Macintosh PowerBook 3400c. 1997 vintage Mac occasionally pops out of its box to assist with 35mm transparency scanning via a clunky array of time-honoured SCSI peripherals.
Got a Mac Just like this? Submit your photos to the Mac Users Guide 'Show Me Your Mac' Photo Contest. Introduced in February 1997 the PowerBook 3400c “Hooper” was for a time the fastest laptop in the world. Powered by a PowerPC 603e processor it was clocked at speeds up to 240 MHz and was the first to showcase a full PCI architecture. Additional features include built-in trackpad, first introduced with the PowerBook 500, and included a hot-swappable 1.4 MB floppy disk or CD drive.
My Powerbook got wine spilled on it at eTech during the Roomba cockfights. (Actually it was afterwards when I wasn't controlling my Roomba, but instead was talking about it with folks)
The Powerbook survived the wine spill, but it took out almost the entire right-half of the keyboard, making the keys either non-functional, stuck in one state, or intermittent.
I removed the keyboard and washed it. This is actually safe as long as you're careful to get things completely dry before reconnecting power. And use detergent, not soap.
The washing took care of the intermittent and sticky keys, but the right shift and the arrow keys were toast. I ended up having to buy a replacement keyboard.
