After another episode of ToMacOrNotToMac, this new Apple Powerook 15 G4 replaces SonyVaioJammer.

It's great for VideoPresence.

It's not great for normal office work, at least not yet. ToMacOrNotToMac.

I haven't done much development on it yet... StudentOfMacOsX.

OK, it's time to get the superdrive on this thing fixed. I spilled OJ on it a while ago, and ever since then it takes extreme dilligence and a tweezers to get a disk out of the drive. I looked at a few do-it-yourself articles and they scared me. W3C paid for applecare for this thing after all, didn't we? I'll have to find the paperwork.

They don't cover accidental damage. They estimate $1200. Ugh. contrast with the FilmKiller episode where HP replaced a gunked up camera for free.
