Plush velcro cord holder, padded wrist wrest, and white Wacom Graphire 3 decorated with stickers and a letter sheet from Fruit stationary.
this is my first Mac - PowerBook 165 - bought September 1, 1994 at Brinkmann in Hannover for a very reasonable 2500 Deutschmarksdamalsjanoch. I did not know anything about Macs, I just chose it because it was the only laptop with the wristrest and pointing device in front of the keyboard- standard now, but not then. 4 MB RAM, 80 MB HD, 16 Grayscale Monitor, and I later bought and installed a Global Village modem and surfed CompuServe via Telephone. Boy did I love this Mac and to this day, I think it is the second best Computer I ever owned (after the Ti-Book). The other day, I plugged it in and it still works - for a while, then the screen turns blank.
You probably can't tell from this photo, but my MacBook's magsafe connector has stopped working. It looks like the springs that keep the connectors pointing outwards have failed, so the pins are retracted into the case. I can't get power at all now, and my battery is dead. I used to be able to get it to power up my machine by pressing lightly on it, but in that case it started buzzing and got SUPER hot. Not a good sign.
This isn't a new problem by any means: check the product reviews for the MagSafe on Apple.com. There's over 50 complaints talking about the same thing.

I've decided that my next computer will be a decent PC laptop (ultralight Thinkpad or Vaio most probably) if Apple refuses to send me a new adapter by next day delivery when I phone them up tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll buy one from the Apple centre in town and never by a Mac laptop again (I've had 4).
The list so far of hardware failures with my MacBook (by the way, the repair period was OVER A FRICKING MONTH! On top of that it took them a month from paying for the damn thing to it turning up at my door):
- Stained wrist rests (repaired twice, and now reappeared)
- Random system shutdowns (repaired)
- Loose screen bezel (repaired)
- Broken iSight cable (repaired)
- Loose and misaligned keys (repaired)
- Mooing CPU sound (fixed by firmware update)
- Whining CPU sound (fixed by firmware update)
- Dodgy power cable: won't charge without fiddling with the connection. Gets extremely hot. Now completely non-functional. (replaced)
- Broken Battery (replaced)
- Broken Bluetooth: turns on/off randomly (repaired, now back again)
- Loose casing around the edges of the wristrest (repaired twice, now acceptable)
- LCD case not in alignment with CPU case section (repaired)
- Dodgy DVD drive with CDs and DVDs requiring force in order to insert (repaired)
- Gluestains thanks to douchebag repairman (appeared after first repair: gone after second repair on wristrest. Still on side of LCD)
Btw, this was uploaded on my roommate's computer (really wishing I hadn't eBayed my Shuttle PC now...)
UPDATE: Apple is sending out a new adapter at no extra charge. It should arrive within 2-3 days. That's 2-3 days that I can't use my computer.

Not good enough Apple. My next laptop will be a PC.
UPDATE 2: I've sent in my MacBook for repair (should take 7-14 days, grrr) to sort out the new wristrest stains and gluestains, as well as the non-functioning Bluetooth. I've also received a new battery.
UPDATE 3: Received MacBook back from repair. Within hours, the stains were back, and the Bluetooth has displayed the same problem multiple times (it shows up at no Bluetooth hardware connected). Went to Apple Store London, and Apple refused to offer a replacement. Would only take it in for ANOTHER repair. I'm going to open a case number, and then wait until after my exams to get it fixed again.
Hooked up to my eMac with a USB-PS/2 adapter, plus I remapped the keys in Mac OS X (Alt -> Command, Ctrl -> Alt, Caps Lock -> Ctrl). See my blog post.
先日キーボードを新しくしました。
そのついでといっては何ですがリストレストも新調しちゃいました(^_^;)
サイズを指定してカットしてもらい、手前が薄くなるように傾斜を付ける加工をして頂きました。
今から目の細かいサンドペーパーで磨きを掛けて仕上げていきます。
キーボード同様にリストレストを購入するのもこれで最後でしょうね。
そういうことで今回は屋久杉を使ってみました、、、ちょっと贅沢(^o^)
Première photo (avec le Viewty *_* ) de mes deux compagnons de bureau...
On peut difficilement faire plus confortable surtout avec un repose poignet kensington juste devant :D
Le Typematrix de la société Ez Reach est une tuerie.
- Clavier matriciel (avec les touches en colonnes) USB sans driver
- Relativement plat.
- Compact : 32 cm de large pour 13 cm de profondeur.
- Placement des touches novateur : Entrée, Backspace et Suppr au milieu du clavier.
- Skin en caoutchouc protecteur et très agréable au toucher afin de mettre la disposition voulue (ici le bépo)
Wrist rests on cake stands, with hand-painted sign. I had three plates/stands but the grapefruit wrist rests sold out, so I removed the stand before taking this pic. But I liked the graduated height effect of having three different stands!

I bought this from a National Bookstore... I can't remember what branch. It's around P80, I think. I can't really remember.
