Laptop Rec's Request
Cappy starts college next year and the one thing we have learned about this child is that she is hard - very hard, on laptops. So, she will need a new one and it will need to be sturdy and while I am leaning toward getting her an iBook (she will have a student discount! And she can't get a Powerbook cause I will just steal it!) she wants a Toshiba pen tablet.
I have a portege for work and I do like it -- I just don't know that it could stand up to her. I mean, it is really sturdy - a lot sturdier than I thought it would be - but I still think she could rip it apart given 3 days and a deadline. The pen-function, which is a nice thing to have, is hardly ever used by me except as a mouse replacement.
So - laptop rec's for students would be a nice thing to have (if she buys the iBook now she could get a free iPod mini! - all students reading this need to check it out at apple.com). It needs to be tough first and foremost and then it needs to be somewhat powerful and now it is sounding like my requirements for a leading man. OMG! Cappy's new computer could be Angel! Actually - her new computer needs to be Seth Bullock.

Takes the Fall
Now every PowerBook G4 is equipped with Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor to help protect your most valuable asset: your data. The Sudden Motion Sensor senses change in axis position and accelerated movement. In the event of a drop or fall, the Sudden Motion Sensor instantly parks the hard drive heads so they won’t scratch the disks on impact, lessening the risk of damage and improving your chances of retrieving valuable data. When the Sudden Motion Sensor senses your PowerBook is once again level, it unlocks the hard drive heads automatically.
That is OMG SO COOL!!! I want that one!!!
