Yes... I used it for a doorstop! Have you found any other uses for yours?

How about as a Baking tray, maybe?

Yes.. the powerbook still started up!!!

Please, don't try this with your PC based laptops, it'll be a molten lump of plastic... and it'll never startup again! I suppose you can forget about window crashing again.... like forever!

BTW... I'd never use my PowerBook as a Baking Tray... maybe as a door-stop or a light paper weight.
