Your Mac's Specs
Powerbook G4/ 15.2"/ 1.67 ghz/ 2 gb RAM/ ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (128 mb RAM)/ 100 gb hdd@ 5400 RPM
So I was typing up something on Apple for someone who wanted to know a little about Apple's history, and noticed a few jokes when going through the Spell Check:

If you type in "Celeron" the recommended spelling is "Celery" (if anyone hasn't seen the video of Steve Jobs comparing the original iMac to the latest Pentium PCs at MacWorld '98, you'll get the joke).
There is no recommended spelling for "Pentium".
All of the Apple PC models show up without needing a spell check, but many Windows PC models did (Dell "Inspiron", HP "Pavillion", etc.).

Just thought it was kind of funny (I'm bored).
