No desk shots, none of that crap, this threads all about what a powerbook is SUPPOSE to do. I'm writing this on a 12" Al book with APE and the base stations about 100 feet away up in the house. No wires, no nothing just me sitting by the water, is so peaceful and it makes you LOVE your powerbook!!!

show us your pictures of your PB in wireless/exotic places anywhere you use it, starbucks, the park lets see some nice PB pictures in pastoral settings.

I ruined my original toilet seat iBook by taking it to the beach. These were the days I didn't own an iPod but still wanted portable music. Sand and electronics don't mix. More fool me.

Sweet! That'll be awesome!

And I won't take my PB *on* the beach, as in, where sand can reach it, but I'll be relatively close so that you can tell I'm actually there...we'll be staying a campground that's just walking distance from the Atlantic, so hopefully I can snap some good pics there of me, my PB, and my wonderful g/f.

I always bring my PB 12 at church (Willow Creek Church) at Barrington IL. They have this cafe where you can order all kinds of coffee and listen to Sunday Message on a big screen.
They have a free wireless internet access and they are using apple base station. I think I'm the only one who is using a laptop there maybe I could take a picture tomorrow during
easter service.

I thought that today's editing up the recording of last night's gig, in the car, on the way to Travemünde, and having a CD master done by the time we got back was pretty cool.

45 minutes' battery left, too.

Well, I had promised a shot with my PB in-front of Pikes Peak, but I couldn't find an angle at my house that I liked. But here's another near by mountain, Mt. Blodget.

Pic is here.

My turn!

Recently went to a LAN party, full of PCs and PC users, except my lonely PB. In fact the only laptop in the party.

Here you have a photo of the moment, with a friend of mine (PC user) drooling at my machine:

I was thinking the same. You don't get to see too many hot chicks at Lan parties.
