Hey, what kind of laptop is this? I know it's mac, but I think I had one when I was like, 8 or 9. It was stolen...I just remember it having a separate floppy drive and it had a track ball instead of a trackpad...
It's one of the old Powerbooks... maybe a Duo?

Yea, looks like my old Duo.
Cool little machine, until the keyboard died on me one key at a time.
At 15 you're living large. BlackBook, MBP, 24" screen, Blackberry.....?. When i was 15, i had a Gameboy and a swatch and that was it.
Why are you jealous? Get with the times, he isn't the only young person on this forum with a nice setup. When I was 15 I got my first PC (4 years ago) and my first cell 3 years ago. Now cell phones are standard for any kid who goes to school in a non-local area.
Sorry but if everybody keeps ranting like this, this is going to turn into what the "18 and younger: post your setup) thread became.
Just stop ranting and enjoy the pics
Somewhere between Elvis and Britney
Erm, waay off base. Its not a rant, i actually admire the setup. I just couldn't help but think back to when i was 15 and how having Gameboy was the luxury thing then. Computers were rarely in houses let alone two or three.
Now, technology is cheaper and easier to access...allowing people to get their geek on. Don't mis-interprete the statement, making me sound like a grumpy 60 yr old.
Relax...god he wasn't attack the man, he was simply point out how nice it was he had that stuff. And what does "Get with the times" mean? Do all teens these day are those types of set ups? I don't(Still I have more then enough computer power)

Haha no hard feelings, I wasn't attacking you, I was just trying to back up TaylorB. I got my first gamebody when I was 5, and man did that thing entertain us for years. Sorry for sounding offensive.
So did PowerBook compared to MacBook Pro, but we got over that
i still refuse to
Don't have an updated setup pic yet, but just applied a MacStyle skin to my MacBook. I also tried applying a skin for the palm-rest/trackpad area but effed it up and pulled it off. There are a few tiny bubbles visible in the picture, but I got rid of most of them. Used the tip of a razor blade to poke holes in them and get rid of them.
I went with copper, and the Capricorn image.
i remember i was trying to play cs on my families old PII gateway, psh todays youth has it made
My enduring memory of childhood is trying to get Sim City 2000 running on a 386 DX/SX (can't remember which). My dad, bless him, knowing nothing about computers, went out and spent £200 on a brand new Pentium processor for an ancient machine which it obviously wasn't compatible with. The sight of a man who doesn't know how to change a printer cartridge trying to swap processors was worth the £200 alone!
You make money out of that? The game second life or just hardcore player who likes making online money?
