On March 8th, 2001 I took the plunge and reentered the Macintosh world. I ordered a new PowerBook G3, a.k.a. "Pismo", under an Apple upgrade program.
Here's the story in pictures.
An old, scrounged, busted PowerBook 5300cs, ready for packaging.
Note the missing center clutch cover, crunched display bezel, and
detached panel from the back somewhere...
The same PowerBook, all packed up and ready to go.
The new G3 has yet to arrive. More later...
