Sorry man, I missed this question. I picked it up as a refurb, with a one year warranty. Had the hard drive replaced right away under warranty, but it's solid now. Runs Panther pretty nicely.

Ohh... ok.
I hear you switch Macs often. Any thoughts on your next pick?
I would not mind picking up a iBook G4. They have a sort of "fun" look to them... I like the new colour layout.
Congratulations on your new 15-inch PowerBook, pscates! You are now officially mobile. The 15-inch model was definitely the right choice for you.
As for myself, I just set up my new ViewSonic VP171b 17" ThinEdge LCD display a few hours ago. It has three inputs, two analog and one digital. Currently, I have an old Pentium 2 and my iBook connected to the analog ports. But this LCD is begging to get hooked up to a new 12-inch PowerBook via DVI.
I'm finally heading out to my local Apple Store Saturday afternoon to check out the new PowerBooks and the iBook G4. But my purchase will have to wait a few more weeks for budget reasons.
Good luck with the new PowerBook! I'm proud of you.
Thanks. Yes it's the 15" SuperDrive model (1.25GHz, 512MB RAM, etc.).
Also, that set-up is in actual construction/transition phase. It's a bit bare, I realize. In about two weeks, there's going to be an AirPort Extreme Base Station sitting on that little raised platform and there will be a mouse and JBL Creature speakers thrown into the mix. And all the cables will be routed through a little "cable organizer" hose thing I bought. And the whole "leaning forward/reaching up to type" thing is getting a bit old already, so I could also see myself getting an external keyboard AND a riser of some sort to make it all a bit more comfortable.
I'll post an updated pic in 2-3 weeks.
And that's a Gibson J-45 in the case. My constant companion. If my house ever caught on fire, I'd make damn sure I at least got the PowerBook and the Gibson out.
Everything else could be replaced with a 3-hour Target/Old Navy trip...
This is the guitar I have, looks exactly like the pic EXCEPT the tuning keys are the larger pearl trapezoid style (not the little oval buttons shown in the photo).
A bit late to the thread and using the awesome power of the T610's camera, I bring you my slightly minimalist desk:
I could do with a real digital camera.
First revision 12" PowerBook: 867MHz, 640MB RAM, 60GB hard disk, Superdrive, Airport Extreme. It's probably not visible, but there's a note stuffed under the back left hand corner because it's missing a foot. Any idea where you can get replacements ?
Other items: CamelBack, pile o' change and a Gameboy Advance.
The 19" montior (LaCie Electron Blue) is on its way, as is my trusty x86 PC. The desk is from Ikea (where my landlord appears to have bought all of the furnshings in the house).
realized I've never posted my own setup...have really enjoyed seeing everybody else's!! Some of you are so clean...I guess I've developed a clutter complex over the last few years.
Maybe eventually I'll drag out our old 128k Mac and the Mac Classic and the (broken) Performa 6400 and my brother's Pismo and our G3 downstairs and put all of our Macs together for a family picture! My poor dad....I'd hate to think how much he's spent on Macs over the past twenty years...heh (although I did buy my PowerBook/digicam and iPod).

the 15" really does look small until you open it up... then it is huge... that is a 15"

Dual 2ghz G5, 15inch Samsung LCD (until I get the 20inch Apple one), orginal 5GB iPod.

Sorry
To quote a line someone used in the PowerMac picture thread at MacNN:
"You're breaking the law with that monitor."
However, this other one was way worse. Like a 8 year old bottom of the line CRT with a duallie:
Dude seriously needs to re-evaluate his choice in displays. If you look close enough, you can see the G5 weeping.
