We loved Snuffy, at least until he stopped being Big Bird's not-really-imaginary friend because child psychologists told Sesame Street that it was bad that nobody believed Big Bird when he said Snuffy was real. Humph!

We love that book. And we refer to it whenever we notice that our older child got something that the younger did not.

Conclusion: You have good taste, CompUser!

Speaking of Big Bird, anybody see this news story?

Body Found at Big Bird's Nest

According to Dave Chappelle, Snuffy is a junkie.. If you think about it, he might be right!

Snuffy Voice: Hi Bert... I'm hurting Bert, do you have any smack? Please Bert!
 
Well, I haven't finished it completely yet, but here's before and after pictures of the trackpad area.

How about Apples Codename for that Powerbook ?

Codename: Mercury

I think this one was the Onyx model, actually. I'm not 100% sure, though. Though "Powerbook Onyx" sounds kinda confusing, but not too bad...
 
Here are some final pics! It actually still works, after being taken apart and reassembled by yours truly, and that's the real miracle here. There's still some paint chips loose on it, so it looks kinda dirty, but once the outer shell completely hardens, it'll be awesome.

It looks rather like an iBook from the outside now, so I was going to suggest TiBook not iBook

but then thought... abbreviate that to noTiBook :cool:

this sort of includes the 'TiBook' and 'not iBook' bits and also happens to almost spell 'notebook'
(also if you say it out loud it sounds a bit like 'naughty book' :D)
 
Yeah, I'm leaving town today, so I needed to reassemble it before I could paint the flames on it or anything like that. Sucks, but nothing I can do about it now.

In the future I might still take the time to add the flames and the name... which I still haven't decided on! Dang it.
 
I would not paint flames on it.

I would suggest getting TiBook G4 laser engraved where it used to say "Power Book G4)
