Wow the ibook looks huge amidst all the others... You should have used a panoramic photo that spanned all of the screens -- that would be pretty cool (but maybe too much work).

I have to say that the iBook (w/Airport) is the most rugged of them.

I feel like I can just grab it and head out to the backyard and not worry as compared to my TiBook and how I need to be careful. It is a big monster, but it sure can put up with the abuse. I used to have a Lombard at the same weight but the iBook is nearly kid proof.

Now that would've been cool, but I agree that it would be a decent amount of work.

Indeed, a PowerSlab would finish out that collection, but it's still impressive. My friends and I were just talking about doing this. We realized we've got a pretty decent spread, from Lombard's to PowerMacs to a PowerSlab. Hmmm...might be a project for this weekend.

That picture spanning idea was a good one. I tried a few different pics, but it's late and this looked okay.



We should have a contest to put stuff on the screens... The possibilities are endless.

Hmmm, I think that Sponge Bob movie is more one that my husband should see than my 5 & 9 year old boys who are big Spong Bob fans! I will never again be able to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants cartoons with my boys with the same naive viewpoint!

I've owned a fair number of 'books over the years:

PowerBook 540c
PowerBook G3 233/2G/64MB/12" (Wallstreet)
PowerBook G3 400/20G/256MB/14" (Pismo)
PowerBook G4 400/20G/256MB/15" (Ti400)
PowerBook G4 550/30G/256MB/15" (Ti550)
PowerBook G4 800/40G/512MB/15" (Ti800)
PowerBook G4 1Ghz/60G/1G/17" (17")

I've just never had more than one in my possesion at a time (I had to sell the old one to afford a new one). All of those together would make for a killer picture.
