PowerBook G4 NoMore
 [ FILED UNDER: Incidents » Road Show » ]


While tour buses gathered for cocktails in Bucharest, multiple web initiatives were being launched in tandem from home via my trusty Titanium Powerbook G4. Alas, the strain proved too great for my shelf-lifelong friend ... and forces more powerful prevailed. I learned an important life lesson: when the going gets tough, never let the pug and baby get too close to the hardware.

My fallen comrade, who was marketed so slickly in life, is paid fitting tribute in these postmortem photos.

UPDATE 2008: The story here is that my son, age 15 mos., was learning to walk at the time. He wobbled over to where I was working and grabbed onto the top of my monitor from behind before he toppled over. The computer was the only casualty - but, amazingly, it still worked. I used to prop it gingerly against the wall and stabilize the screen with books. Unfortunately, the photo gallery software I am using at this site is as old as this post ... 6 years! ... and needs an upgrade. Someday, I will have to dig up the photos and post them elsewhere.

UPDATE 2008, December-ish, around 6:30-ish PM PST: "Someday, I will have to dig up the photos and post them elsewhere." ---> Done!
