    Does anybody know the name of that black apple laptop from the movie 'what women want' with Mel gibson? It looks way better than the current laptops, especially the upside down apple looks very retro.

    Probably. They still come up on Ebay sometimes. Condition might not be particularly good though. And it will be rather slow.

    O really, I thought it be pretty valueble by now. I also like those old black and white gameboy pockets hich are way better for playing pokemon blue and red. Not that I play those anymore but i'd still like to have one again. Am also looking for a still working nokia 3310.
    About the mac, I wonder if I can put word on it, since its not a windows system. I doubt they had bootcamp 10 years ago :p
