One important note, the Japanese PowerBook might have different keyboard layout to cater the Japanese market. (I remember I saw the different keyboard layout when I was in Japan l…

Damn man, you sound just like me 5 months ago. I'm off to Japan early next month and first chance I get, i'm heading to either Ginza or Shibuya to pick myself up a PowerBook. Fir…
