Is it possible to build a half Pismo half PDQ Powerbook G3

[Vacaneu]

The Powerbook G3 is my favorite laptop by far. But the best version (Pismo) is really ugly. Has anyone ever attempted swapping the top case of the Wallstreet PDQ and keyboard onto a Pismo? Keeping the performance while retaining the look of the PDQ (the best looking laptop of all time)

What do you mean. They look almost exactly the same!

The bronze keyboard is really weird looking and the white Apple logos are super out of place. The PDQ looks much better with its logo placements.

you could rip the keys off a tibook keyboard and put 'em on the pismo keyboard I think.

But why not just use the PDQ? It's good enough

Firewire is pretty nice :/ I think I'll just get a PDQ if I do buy a G3

that's what PCMCIA is for! you get two slots on the pdq after all.
