With my old Tibook 500 I tripped on the cord and if flew off the coffee table about 26" down. I trashed my yoyo adapter but the laptop has been fine for 6 months.

The moving parts on your powerbook are the ones you should have an eye on. Especially the harddrive is sensitive to abrasion, so I would back up my data immediately if you haven't …

The exact same thing happened to me and my 12" (Rev A) back in April, except the only damage was to the lower left corner (dent) and it has not suffered any malfunctions or problem…

well...lets say you are lucky! the most delicated part on the 12 is the display....the processor itself is kind of stable, so the display is all u gotta worrie abt...notice any whi…

Haven't noticed anything at all, I was so relieved! I guess my boyfriend is light on his feet... I still have the dent from the earlier episode and although I haven't called apple…

Good question...I've been wondering the same thing. Edit - I did find these, not sure how good they are...but look okay. A little on the expensive side though. Doesn't look lik…

Thank you. I'm very surprised to find that replicators aren't very common for the powerbook line. As popular as they are I would have thought someone would have launched a nice d…

I used a BookEndz dock for my Ti 400 and honestly, it wasn't worth the expense ($250). You have to line it up just right and spend a lot of time futzing with it to get it to work …

I don't get it. Even if you use a replicator you're still plugging and unplugging from the Powerbook. So the wear and tear is the same either way. I think there are two main reaso…

Random idea I had the other day. Most of Apple's high end desktops have been dual processor for a while, why not offer that possibility in a laptop? Well, shoving two CPUs inside…

Quote: If anything, you incur more wear and tear (and possibly permanent damage) because of the considerable force required to dock your PowerBook correctly. …

I hate plugging and unplugging the cables from my laptop. The missing element on Powerbooks is a single in-line connector that many PC notebooks (Dell 600, Sony V505) have either…

I take my laptop on/off my desk twice a day and connnecting/disconnecting cables isn't that big a deal. I have power, speakers, 1xusb which goes to my keyboard, my MS Natural has …

Wack-o-phone? I have the previous model that looked a bit different on the outside. I do believe the dimensions are the same. As far as the laptop pocket in the back of the bag: …

I Use my Wack-o-Phone with a 12"pb. With the pb in there, I can fit all my accessories ( cables, chargers, bt mouse, and my ipod + dock), a 1.5" binder, small text book, a few cd'…

Guess the new one fits the 15" Tibook and Albook just fine. If you get the older one, trust me, it won't fit. Mark (who's 12"PB is just swimming in my wack-o-phone)
