Sam Brown laments the passing of his titanium PowerBook

Sam Brown laments his titanium PowerBook G4 laptop, which finally died for good after five years of use. His remembrance makes me nostalgic. I loved my TiBook; it is probably my favorite computer ever. I got one and then I convinced Adam to get one (his first Mac) and it had a long battery life and a huge bright screen and wireless networking, which was amazing and new, and it was thin and light and didn’t get too hot. And I didn’t get the AppleCare, and after 18 months it died, and a few months later Adam’s died too, and it was too damn expensive to justify another one. I’ve had several machines since that PowerBook, all costing less, but I still remember it with great fondness. I think its still my favorite computer.
