Today I put the Powerbook
in my backpack together with my Thinkpad T40p. I bought
an STM Powerbook sleeve (wetsuit-like material) to
protect the outside, I didn't think the Apple packaging
(thin foam) was good enough! ;) They did not have
keyboard/screen protectors in stock, this is something I
think the Powerbook needs since it is quite easy to
"squash" the Powerbook making the keyboard touch the
screen, and I've seen such scuff-marks on my T20, not
pretty. I'll have to place an order for "Wildeepz" and
"ScreenSavRz" from
www.radtech.us.
The Powerbook combined with my Thinkpad make for
quite some weight!
Sometimes when the Powerbook
gets hot a loud fan turns on. This is not quite
annoying, but is certainly noticable. It seems this
happens mainly when the laptop is on a lap or on
something soft. I've only heard it on a desk after
running an UT2004 benchmark.
Haven't had any
dropouts on the wireless internet yet, something that is
quite normal on my T40p.
I've been happily working
away now, without any other issues. When there are
issues they are easily solved by MacOSX's
Help.
If this continues it'll be a boring switch log, but
it will mean that anyone is able to switch to Apple if
they choose to do so.
