http://homepage.mac.com/aaronsteele/Personal8.htmlthis lady decides that she needs to put her PowerBook in the oven for 20 minutes... and it STILL WORKS what do you think they should do with it? (other than send it to you, because I call the machine if they send it to anyone) I think they should replace the keybaord, rip off the screen and use it as a "console" like I used my Compaq Conture 386laptop for so long or they should turn it into a LC like computer, in a flat case Official 68k videographer |

Sweet Jesus...I wonder if she was insane or just trying to destroy it on purpose? Who knows...But, I'd love to have it just to hack it into a color classic or something! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 My Site: http://cine.sytes.net My Hardware Page: http://cineware.sytes.net |

MMMph...this brings up two interesting points... 1) what in HELL was this lady thinking!?! was she like DRUNK or something?! stupid, stupid people. 2) the amazing durability of powerbooks! I don't think there is a SINGLE PC laptop that could take more than 2 mins in an oven! damn cheapo plastic cases -the lady buys a new laptop and puts it in the microwave for 20 mins-

Oven, actually. Had she put it in a microwave for 20 minutes, both the microwave and the PowerBook would have exploded!!! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 My Site: http://cine.sytes.net My Hardware Page: http://cineware.sytes.net |
