    Powerbook at 7 months

    1036 days ago

    I’ve had my powerbook since last july, and it’s getting well worn. I love it, and I’m surprised I hadn’t already capitulated and really done a good job of cleaning it. I’m usually pretty anal about stuff like that.

    But tonight I got a nice rag (Scotch Brite, High Performance Cloth) wet it, and wiped ambrose down real good. Feels great – a whole layer of dinge is gone, the whole thing has a real slick clean feeling.

    The powerbook is holding up well, save to the right of the mouse button and under the arrows. You can tell there’s a bit of peeling going on, but I’m doing better then Jon Hicks.

    Now I just need to get some really cool stuff going on the inside of the powerbook – I have a few neat projects, but nothing in a releasable state, and only a few beyond the man it would be cool stage. I’m looking to have a breadwinning project out the door real soon, and open up time for some cool playing and realizing of the ideas swimming around in my head right now.

    Powerbook Neverball

    1265 days ago

    I almost figured it was common knowledge, but it’s sinfully easy to set up Neverball on your Powerbook. And especially rewarding if you own a new model – one with Apples Sudden Motion Sensor built in to prevent hard disk damage from falls and the like.

    It's Here!

    1286 days ago

    The last six days have been easily the most agonizing of my life – I’ve been compulsively checking the shipping info on my powerbook, jumping up and running to the window whenever I hear a truck rumbling nearby, and anticipating the arrival of this guy like nothing else. But it came!

    Apple - Education - Back to School

    If I waited a day or two to buy my powerbook I could’ve had a free mini iPod! Bummer. Maybe if I call customer support. I ordered on the 25, this came to be yesterday, the 28. My brother has a birthday coming up and if it was free…

    eBay - PowerBook G4 667 MHz or more 12 Apple Laptops Finder

    Wanted: used apple powerbook, 867mhz or higher. Airport a must, bluetooth would rock.

    As much as I’d like to have one brand new, with apple switching away from ppc I figure I get a cheaper used one to hold me out a few years until something really sweet comes around. And I’m dirt poor, so the price of a used powerbook should be around half of a new one.
