clamshell handle
does / has anyone used the handle on their clamshell ibook to actually carry it anywhere?
i just did, and the wife laughed at me and said i looked daft.

I use my handle. I think it's very useful and should be on MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
A third-party company used to make a handle for the TiBooks, I don't remember if they ever continued doing so for the MBPs...
I don't have a handle on my Powerbook 540c.
I carry it ok, apart from when it slips from my hands.
My Fontwriter has a handle, it's twice the size of the powerbook and weighs quite a bit too........ I may hold the handle but I hold the machine with the other hand.
A strong moulded handle grip which is inset/dosn't stick out could perhaps be the future.....
Developers take note, you heard it here first

Well, there you go! A lot more sturdy than the clamshell handles, too. [

Things with handles are good:

why has nobody thought of that before?

Huh? Why would you want a handle in the body of your guitar? If you're carrying it around, I would hope it would be in a case or at least a gig bag.
And carrying a clamshell around by the handle makes you look like a girl.

well you would look cool carrying your 'axe' in a long haired tight jeaned drunken sort of way.Huh? Why would you want a handle in the body of your guitar? If you're carrying it around, I would hope it would be in a case or at least a gig bag.

Real men play Telecasters.
Bibanez is for nu metallers and Steve Vai. For serious.

I play an Ibanez bassShe's right... we just didn't want to say anything;-)does / has anyone used the handle on their clamshell ibook to actually carry it anywhere?

I did once see a woman in the street carrying a blue iBook. As for things with handles, I've got an old Olivetti luggable with a built-in handle and there is a Smith Corona electric typewriter in a far-flung attic somewhere with a carrying handle.
My most recent aqusition that can be carried in this way is a 1920's wooden lunchbox, the kind that builders and factory workers used to use. You carry it by a couple of brass handles and it probably makes people think "Now that man has LUNCH!"

Well, that's Steve Vai's signature Ibanez... so...
Yes, she is right. It does look girly. Real men carry their iBooks between their teeth.
Or use a carry-bag like any normal person. Which renders the novelty handle rather redundant.

Nice! You are a man with TASTE!! The only lunchbox I’ve ever owned was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one. Now, in my old age, I must admit to having become conservative and boring in the lunchbox department – now I just have one of those plain plastic Décor containers.My most recent aqusition that can be carried in this way is a 1920's wooden lunchbox, the kind that builders and factory workers used to use.

Where do ya find all this nifty crap anyway? [8D] By the way, I almost bid on an accordion because I was jealous of yours but they wanted seventy bucks. I guess I just don't want an accordion as much as I thought I did.
Lol, heebiejeebies, i don't have an iBook but if i did i'd carry it by the handle. But then again, for someone that likes to act manly, i tend to do a lot of girly things. *laughs*
But at least unlike one of my mates at uni, i'd never paint my car pink. (one of my mates was saying he wants to paint his car pink, and i was telling him to paint it a colour thats a bit more manly )

I’m all for men acting like men and women acting like women, but then on the other hand I also believe that blokes who obsess too much about being a man or those who go out of their way to posture a macho image are more likely to be insecure about their own manhood. Whenever I see a bloke with tattoos and a bone-crunching handshake driving a 25 litre-W16 Commodore, going from 0 – 60 in the bat of an eyelid and breaking several noise codes in the process, all I can think is:
Well, at least Sigmund Freud was right about one thing! [8D]
If blokes choose to do certain things that are slightly less than blokey such as knitting scarves or baking cakes, that’s fine if they’re already secure about their manhood. But painting your car pink? Wow. Now, I don’t know quite what message he’s trying to send out by doing that. Is he trying to tell the world ‘Hey everyone, I am a complete girly-man’ or what? Is the car a Barina, by any chance? I can’t make heads nor tails of that but anyway, whatever revs his engine.

Yeah well i have a bone-crunching handshake and i WISH i drove a 25 litre W16 Commodore going from 0 - 60 in the bat of an eyelid and breaking several noisecodes in the process, but i am fine with my manly-ness/girly-ness.
Btw, that dude's car is a Magna...i don't think he's a great fan of sewing machines. I call the Barina a sewing machine because it has:
- A name similar to that of a sewing machine
- Is normally driven to Sewing classes by old ladies
- Is about the size of a sewing machine
- Has the same engine capacity as a sewing machine
- Has about enough boot space to carry exactly one, and only one sewing machine

So the Barina is like a Buick, except that Buick's (used to be) are huge land yachts with V8s?
I’ll make sure I never shake your hand then! You don’t wear flannelette do you? One bloke I know who’s a bit of a bogan wears flannies absolutely everywhere except Church…He wears flanny pyjamas too and sometimes I reckon he’s been too lazy to change out of ‘em and is just wearing ‘em during the day! :
I’m thinking of getting one of those novelty latex hands and inserting some sort of hydraulic wrench device in it for dealing with the bonecrunchers. It will be fun watching Joe Macho wince in pain whilst refusing to concede that he’s been outdone!
Personally I think you’d have to be a plonker to drive anything bigger than a sewing machine with petrol prices the way they are. I hear Janome overlockers are quite economical.
Glad my bike doesn't take petrol!!

Or bouncy 18 year old ‘independent women’ with personalised number plates like ‘BEC-85’ and R&B ringtones who probably watch Big Brother.

LOL, no i don't wear flanellette, i am not a bogan!!! LOL at the "independant women" comment btw.
Btw, my bike doesn't take petrol either, thank God, but sometimes i wonder if its worth it riding it seeing as though Australia sucks for cycling. Its illegal to ride on the footpaths, but its too dangerous to ride on the road, seeing as though 95% of motorists seem to get vehicle size confused with private-bit size...you can't win!

Oh sorry mate, didn’t mean to insult you. Just that my natural prejudices lead me to expect that everyone from Queensland is a bundy-swilling ute-driving sugar cane farmer, everyone from Sydney is either a yuppie or gay, everyone from Canberra is a public servant and everyone from Melbourne is a bohemian who listens to community radio.
Melbourne doesn’t seem to be too bad for bikes. We have quite a few roads with bike lanes, and most people seem to respect that they’re for bikes only. My Mum doesn’t, but then she’s a Volvo driver. There are definitely a few idiots on the road, but I’ve never come close to being skittled on my bike. And that includes doing some really dodgy things in the past like riding out in the country at night with no lights on. : People are too lazy these days – stuff your remote controls and your cars and get back to doing things the real way, I say!

LOL nah you didn't insult me. Although you should've added "whinging" to the beginning of your opinion on cane farmers. Seriously, they are. When we dont' get rain they complain "OMFG NO RAIN!!!!" and then when it rains they go "OMFG TOO MUCH RAIN TOO MUCH RAIN POOR US POOR US HELP", pretty much. We don't have many bike lanes here, which sucks. But ah well. All i know is that i've had more than a few close calls on my bike with motorists on an ego trip who think that they're somehow superior to me because they have a car and i don't. And then there's the tools who think that the bike ways that we do have are their own personal car parks. :-/

Q. Jeez, mates. Life is 'ard in the boondocks. Why don't we all just decamp to Noo Zulland and enjoy a nice, large, empty playground?
A. Because there's prolly no Macs there.

They do have one advantage - at least there are fewer Kiwis there!
I'm trying to understand if this is racist, or mean to a city's residents (or fruit?!?) and I can't even understand a word you guy's are saying...
