->> Some of you may already know about this site, but I just found it and it was invaluable. Digital cameras have DPReview.com, laptops have http://www.notebookcheck.net/ Anything you ever wanted to know about just about every laptop made.

I still have a complete, maxed out (14Mb RAM, 160Mb HD) Apple Powerbook 180c down in the basement with the original System disks and a Coolscan with SCSI cable and terminator.

I had a shoot at their factory once, in the Clean Room where they made chips. They dressed me up in the white suit with full face mask and booties on the shoes, but didn't notice that I brought in an old, dirty Domke bag with gear. Not on purpose of course, I didn't know...

After shooting for about 15 minutes I bent down to pick up my bag off the floor to hear "Oh shit!" from one of the workers.

They had to trash the entire run of chips in the room because of the dust potential from my bag and deep clean the room before they could use it again.

The pictures were good though.
