Because I bought a FireWire PowerBook, my older notebook, one of them PowerBook G3/333 computers. It's a really, really nice notebook, but now that it's unused, I can start screwing around with it.

I scratched the case up entirely, and it desperately needs a new enclosure. I was thinking of creating one of those low-footprint Gateway Profile PC-like computers.

Does anyone else have a good idea about what I should create out of my old 'Book?

Today, I'm going to sketch out a concept for you all. If I forget, then, well... until then, talk to you later, all!

Oh yeah, and I have the materials from a long-abandoned revision-B iMac, too, if they are needed!
