Hello fellow MLAers,
Nothing says vintage Intel Mac quite as well as the dreaded plastic (polycarbonate) MacBooks. Y'know, the ones your parents sent you to college with.
Yeah, they're greasier than the average oil pan and may (or may not) be actively decomposing, but they're cheap.
Here's an example for $25 of god's own american dollars from eBay:
I'd like to host a challenge on the MLA to help ring in the ubiquitous plastic MacBook to our storied halls:
1) Find a plastic Macbook that needs some help (the grubbier the better).
2) Clean it up and set 'er right
3) Spend a week with 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6.
If you'd like to participate, find a plastic Macbook to take under your wing and post about it in this thread during the month of July! We do love a good before and after, so take plenty of pictures!
I'll be participating in this challenge myself! Best of luck to you all and remember: the only way to lose is by not playing the game
!
