Just thought I'd chime in with an update @ 20 days ownership. Still going strong!

Hard drive that came from my TiBook finally gave up the ghost after 9 years a couple weeks ago; had a great run. Luckily, I made a backup the night before. I installed Leopard and got that running. wake up the next morning, hard drive is making the click of death and I'm getting read errors.

so I have another 80-gig drive in it now with a restore of the previous 10.4.11 install, haven't bothered to try Leopard again, yet.

Here's a pic from the 22nd (International Capslock Day!)



I made a video of it on my Youtube channel as well, but it's really boring and not really in-depth... I was sort of rushing it and forgetful because the weather was going to get worse any minute while I was outside.

Also burned a CD in the optical drive last week, so that works!

And, I took the opportunity to clean out and redo the thermal compound on the Powerbook as well-- it idles a lot cooler now and doesn't go over 62C at load (so says Temperature Monitor). by then the fan kicks in, and I think that's what helps.

I did notice I'm missing the pushbutton for the PCMCIA slot. Aside from that, it seems complete. win!
