First of all, if you have an older but still functional laptop (like me!), you could strip off the plastic, keyboard, etc.This makes made wonder, what can I do with this old 'Book (or an even more ancient Mac)? Here are a few possibilities: However, for all its faults, it's still got a decent hard drive and nearly a gigabyte of RAM, so it can't be totally useless. When I last booted it up, the clock thought that the system time was close to 1970 thanks to the internal clock battery no longer holding a charge, and thanks to the fact that it's capped at OS X 10.3.9, I can't get a new version of Firefox on it. As I type this article on my MacBook Pro, I can't help but glance over at my poor PowerBook Lombard G3 with its awesome translucent bronze keyboard, sitting in its dusty laptop bag.
