sad mac
I dropped my iBook.
Twice.
Yes I know it's a dinosaur (G4), but it's still good, so why add to the heaps of technological detritus by buying a new one?
Two days ago it started ticking.
Like A BOMB.
Genius Bar Guy says,
"It's not hopeless."
"$700 to repair."
"$1099 for a new Macbook! And we'll even copy your files over for free!"
I may be reading too much of this Stuff White People Like
which annoys me because so many people are into it, but I do really really hope there are some good recycling options for laptops (does anyone know)?
There's gotta be a good business plan in here somewhere: salvaging valuable stuff from the heaps of technological detritus and using the empty shells for...something beautiful?

Sadly i have a contact for a mac ibook graveyard from which the occasional one is resurrected from parts. Also I think Eug has a deceased one.I assume the screen is blown?
I'll be looking for an older mac laptop this May/June
Thanks guys! Those new laptops are realllllly good looking. And I'm SOOO into Time Capsule.
I do have a deceased one, that I haven't yet done anything with. I need to harvest that sucker for parts. I ended up getting a MBP instead, and I love it.
