So last night, as my dog slept under my wife's desk, he must have gotten himself tangled in our TiBook's cord. There was a knock at the door, a woof, and a scramble, and then a crash. When I came into the office to see what the ruckus was about, there it was- sitting headless on the floor. My old TiBook (now my wifes)- still running, screen detached from the body.
I'm going to try the aluminum flashing/epoxy trick, to see if it gives my old friend another shot at being a notebook. If that fails.. I guess it is off to digital picture frame land.
Apple invented Magsafe about 5 years too late!! :/
