I have never used a laptop more broken than this
Broken hard drive, trackpad, keyboard (as of just this morning) and severely disintegrating casing. (You can't see it in the picture, but the plastic around the ports on the left side has chipped away, so that the cables connecting the usb keyboard and the firewire hard drive have to be taped in place in order to function.)
Time for a new machine, obviously, but part of me kind of wants to see how far this could be taken.

Posted by: Leah at October 20, 2009 11:36 PMYa know, spilling beer on my old G4 f'd up the trackpad pretty bad. Are you familiar with that scenario?
Posted by: spectacles at October 21, 2009 09:25 PMI have an old Mac SE/30 that I'd be willing to listen to offers on. It still works. As a bookend, at least. I have no idea if it still functions as a computer.
