So we can't reply, then? 
Still pretty happy with my TiBook and it's got AppleCare until February 2006.  Wouldn't mind a speedbumped machine someday but not right now (although I'm considering a G5 iMac or low-end G5 desktop as a machine I can keep at home and run remotely though).
Voch

12" Wallstreet!
It's not the crappy version though. This one has L2 cache and an active matrix screen. Old, but it works great.

If you have active matrix, then it is 13" or 14". Apple didn't ship an active matrix 12" in a Wallstreet.

Yes they did. See, there were two revisions of the Wallstreet. The first was highly customizable, with three screens (12" passive, 13" active, 14" active) available, and three processors (233, 250, and 292 MHz). You could mix and match however you wanted. A few months later, Apple simplified the lineup by standardizing on a 14" screen and a 66 MHz bus, resulting in speeds of 233, 266 and 300 MHz. They also introduced a special, cheaper 12" active matrix model with a 233 MHz G3. It was $2299 versus $2999 for the 14" 233 MHz.
I can definitely tell the difference between a passive and an active matrix screen, having owned and used both. The active matrix screen on my Wallstreet is pretty dim for an active matrix one, but it's definitely not a passive one.

I bow before thee, great collector.
Just ordered and paid for my 15 inch Combo AlBook last night, so I guess I own it, even if I don't *have* it yet...

I used to have a PowerBook 110 (maybe it was a 180?). It had 4 "colors." Black, white, gray, and blue.

1.33 12in, with a sexy Superdive. When ever I go to B&N to do some work and sip some Sprite, the girls are all like "get away you scrub, you're so bad and ugly" until they see my sexy 12in. Then they all like "Oooo burn me baby, all night. Pirate my code. Mix my audio, and give my video transitions in real time."

15" Superdrive. I love this machine. When I first bought it, it seemed kind of extravagant, but when I came home from vacation a couple of weeks ago, I found BOTH my home and work machines dead. (unrelated causes-- just coincidental.) The PB has been a lifesaver, in the meantime, while they're in the shop.

I got my first taste of OSX with a used Ti500Mhz which I still own. Did a CTO on a 15" before my neighbor bought it, at which point I bought a refurb Rev A 17".

The 17" widescreen powerbook that is as wide as my smile
It's like having the movie theatre with you wherever you go, and
plenty of space for everything - and still...it weights less than my
previous portable pc with a much smaller screen.
