[FCP-L] Re: OT: Dead Ti-Book, should I repair?

Hi Kerry,

> Am I simply being too sentimental?
No. I guess it's just normal behavior of Mac fans! ;)

> Is it time to retire this old horse?
If you need a computer for work - YES, replace it (before Bob Z. destroys it)!
But for personal use it is probably fine. Or give it to your wife / kids (if you have), other relatives or anyone else who needs a computer. A PowerBook or MacBook with an AirPort card is great - me, my wife, lots of friends and relatives enjoy going online wireless since years! :) And for sure that's what my kids get in a few years when they're old enough!

I'm still having a G3 PowerBook (stunning 333MHz!) with an AirPort card (11Mb) at home and use it from time to time, although the battery is dead. I don't have a wired network at home so AirPort is great and I can plug in the power supply wherever I am at home, so it's fine for me! :)

And yes, I must be crazy to have at least 15 Macs (that I don't use regularly or some of them no more) at home - a few of the are even NuBus machines. But I just can't throw them away and it's fun to show people how computers looked like and worked years ago..

Greetings from a german Apple / Avid / FCP support guy!
