Great, man.
I love my pismo, but it's starting to really fall apart this last week (first week of school, just my luck). The battery went from over an hour's charge, down to 5-15 minutes, and now down to nothing, and no amount of battery reset will fix it, which kind of makes it hard to sleep it and carry it to school and wake it with everything the way I left it.
The backlight also just started going really pink when I first boot or wake from sleep, so that is on it's way out, and there is a crack in the bottom of the case by the battery. It was overlapping, but I pushed it back together.
now I need a new laptop. At this point, I would not mind (hell, I would prefer) if it came with windows. That is what we are working with in the classroom (office 2k3), so I might as well match what they are doing. VPC is great, but a mite slow on the dear old 500mhz G3.
These machines are great, but their useful life as productive machines is running dry.
