...that my PowerBook kicks ass.

This scrolling trackpad is awesome and the backlight is super bright on the keyboard. No problems seeing the letters in lowlight conditions now.

My bro was nice enough to give me his old 256MB module cuz I'm poor as **** right now. So I'm cruzin' at 768MBs. Some day I'll get it to 2GBs.

Just got my Radtech PowerBook Screen SavRz and slip. Now I'm just waiting on my Tucano PowerBook bag to arrive. Has the leet "PB" on the side plus matching mini-bag for power brick and cables (also has PB on it.)

The sticky thread on PB sleeves/bags has become too long to search, so here it goes:

http://www.royalbusiness.com/product...eb3825e3d6540f

That's for the 12" tho, but you can search from that point (I bought 2 for a TiBook and an AlBook, both 15" - they're awesome).

I dunno. Pb is the perodic table symbol for lead.

(just kidding...move along...nothing to see here...)

Are you going to put those sleeves into a bag of some sort? I've always leaned towards purchasing very discreet computer bags (all black) so as to lower the risk of getting it stolen (well...I also lock up my PowerBook in my desk when I take it to work).

Does anyone remember that all-orange iBook bag from the <500Mhz model days that let the Apple logo show through in a little window? Did anyone actually buy that bag?

Voch

I can't find the little bag for the power adapter on Royal's site. What is the model number? Is that where you bought it?

Funny how all black bags always have notebooks in them... Best bet is probably to buy a sleave and put it in a normal backpack... I personally use a northface bag. I know atleast on a college campus, you can tell who has a laptop bag and who doesn't... and the laptop bags are black most of the time...
