3. Here's my most favorite purchase so far (besides the Powerbook!) - it ROCKS!:

http://www.laptopdesk.net/laptopdesk2f.php

I love it cause it's super stable but not too heavy, it has strong rubber grips on the top and bottom, so the PB won't slip off my lap when I'm getting comfy on the couch, I love how it doubles as a laptop prop (don't remember exact name) so my laptop is propped up higher on my desk, at a comfortable angle, and the laptop isn't getting hot at all cause it allows it to breathe underneath. It makes typing so much easier (and on the writsts) and I like that the laptop is higher up so I'm no longer hunching over. It also came with a mousepad attachment which I haven't used yet cause I don't yet have a mouse, but it will be useful when I do. Highly recommend! I think it's sold at quite a few online stores so find the best price. I think I paid $25.00 or $30.00 or something like that.

That LapTop Desk is a knock off or rip off of Macally's "Ice Pad". And the Macally one is cheaper. I've had it for years -- it is great.

Yeah I think I compared the two and still liked the LapTop Desk one better. It seems it had a feature or two better. I give credit to the ice pad folks of course but I still wanted the better product. Mind you, I'm not saying it IS the better product, I'm just saying when I compared them (only over the internet!) something convinced me the one was better than the other. Wish I could remember now! Too lazy to bring them both up via google and compare again. As for price, I noticed the LapTop Desk is more expensive at most places, but I found a good price at only one place - the others cost a lot more - that's why I said it was worth finding the cheapest price.

I guess I shall add my accessories to this thread.

Books to lift my PB off the desk. My $99 6x8 Wacom Graphics Tablet which I regularly use it instead of my cheap mouse. And the mini keyboard from the iMac in the sig. I also have a USB light for the times when I just want a little bit of light whenever I work in complete darkness.

And im the crazy student that gets the 6x8 Bluetooth Tablet.

My accessories are the BT Tablet and RocketFM. RocketFM is an iTrip for computers. So when doing presenations in class I can use the boombox instead of the T.V. Also my cellphone has a loudspeaker with FM Radio. Powerbook + RocketFM + Nokia 6800 = very loud sound.

QuickerTek aluminum handle for PowerBooks. I always thought the handle on the original clamshell iBooks was a great idea. I hope Apple brings it back on future models.

Also, iSkin, Wrist Rugs, and Screen Protectors.

Some great recommendations here. Looking for a good, rugged sleeve myself.

Same. And my iSkin. I misplaced it - *crys and runs out of chair to find*

Don't feel bad about misplacing the iSkin. I had a clear one and I cleaned it one day -- and then I accidently threw it in the trash.

I've only got colored ones now. But need a new clear one for the darker PB keyboard.

Outside of the iSkin, I agree with another poster that having two power adapters is a must. And my Macally Ice Pad has prevented carpal tunnel on me, I know. I just bought a world travel adapter kit for the pbs/ibooks from Apple, and I am about to get some Zeroshock sleeves for my books to go into a lightweight microfiber messenger bag. I just can't stand having a huge old bag. You all would laugh if you saw the bag I had to tote around my first powerbooks -- the PB 100 and PB 145b. Bigger than a house. (I have no idea what i did with that leather dinosaur, either....
