and what is so wrong with just saying, the new [insert size here] powerbook??? emphasis on new, for those that don't even know it's aluminum (personally i say aluminium as i'm english, we put a second i in it and pronounce it ah loo min ee um, or something like that)

Powerbook G3, G4, 667, 17" ETC, not too hard to discern.

I usually call it the AlBook. I don't really care what everyone else calls it, as long as I know what they are talking about.

still.
everyone is entitled to their opinion and i won't do anything to you if you like some other name for the 12/17" Aluminum PowerBook G4 laptops more than AluBook...but AluBook is the way I like it. 😀

I prefer to call it the PB12 (or PB17)... the whole Al thing just
doesn't seem cool at all to me 😱 😉 😀
