[geeks] Apple vs. Sun

[Simeon Johnston]

I can't find the link anymore, BUT.
I saw an image of a computer shop that had burned out.  All the other
machines were fubar, the Mac G3 case was friggin messed up, it was
great.  But the thing still booted.  I think the system was lost but the
hardware was still functional.
:-)
And, I seem to recall that the clamshell iBooks, while kinda sucking on
screen size and repairability (has anyone else tried to take there's
appart?), they were pretty damn resilliant.  And I know my Powerbook G3
isn't gonna break easily.  It's been around, if ya know what I mean.
