a trip down powerbook memory lane

Jason Levine posts a great little photoset of the otherwise deadly boring act of migrating files off an old computer…except this time the old computer is a PowerBook Duo 230.  Has to be one of my all time favorite machines; I used one for a couple of years – well after its prime – and wrote my most (um, only? –ed.) productive two years of Obvious pieces on it…  I recognize the ridiculousness of professing love for a hunk of plastic, metal and glass…but I loved that machine.

(Oh, and I wanted to leave the nostalgia category alone with its sole black holes post, but I just couldn’t file this one anywhere else, now could I.)
