Well, disamn yo....that's pretty wack. I wish I could see my powerbook fly, and then have enough money for a new one....If mine flew now, I wouldn't see another one for many a moon. But, good to hear you did get a replacement.

I got my Powerbook for my university program because it's mandatory for all students to purchase a mac, not pc.

I wish more schools were like that, although for me part of the joy of Apple is being different. Maybe I'm just weird. :D

I use my Powerbook solely when I'm hiding underneath my bed. The rest of the time, I don't use a computer.

My University's computer science program highly recommends Macs now, instead of PCs for the sole reason of OS X (Unix). The program requires a ton of Linux work, and they also got really tired of Windows crashing and slowing down their progress. So, they're killing two birds with one stone and everybody is getting Macs.

I'm starting the CS program this fall, so, I picked up a new Powerbook a while back. :)

i use it in front of my desktop PCs.
Basically neglect the not-so-attracting PCs unless i really need to run some programs under winxp.

Now that I've had my Powerbook for a while, I find myself using it more and more. I generally take it everywhere with me. Right now I'm kicked back on my bed listening to my iPod, and perusing the posts.

The other day my girlfriend and I were at Starbucks, both with our Powerbooks open, and I was doing some research for my upcoming college project. We were inside next to the window and this guy that was outside right next to the same window, also had a 12" Powerbook. He slowly turned back and looked at us, and then did a quick double take when he saw two more Powerbooks. These things are really getting popular, I'm seeing more and more of them each day.

They're littered all over campus, now -- still not quite as popular as PC laptops, but still surprisingly so.

That, and all the people (profs, under/grad students) in my dept (mathematics/applied mathematics) use Powerbooks so they work seamlessly with our *nix desktops.
