I remember that feeling too, especially with the LC. I still remember the first time I used an LC (not until 1991). I instantly fell in love with the machine and a few months later had one. (That same LC I bought in early 1992, right before it was discontinued, is sitting directly to my right as I type this).It doesn't seem that long ago to me that the Classic and LC were "The New Models"...
And to think the PowerBooks are 17 this year...I remember when they came out (as well as the Quadras). I used to go to Office Max just to see the PowerBooks on display and always asked for one for Christmas...first it was just a PowerBook, then the 165c, then the 180c, then the 540c...didn't get a Mac laptop until 2000 when I got a clamshell! (That machine is directly behind me as I type this). When I didn't get the laptop all those years (despite being on good behavior) I had just assumed Santa's elves didn't know how to build a laptop...
