    I found an antique Powerbook 520C at my uncle's place. I got it to start by randomly pressing button's as none of them sports the universal power swith symbol but it shut down on me... Can anyone tell me where is the power switch on that thing?

    Blame the iPhone for that :p ... I find that funny that the device used to take the picture is 20 times more powerful than the computer pictured :D I found that nifty feature on it that I wish my laptop had: it has little feet that can be unfolded to prop it up for a better typing position. When I discovered that I was baffled that no one incorporated such a thing in modern laptops. That would improve the cooling greatly.

    Oh yeah... That thing is slow... And noisy. My desktop is inaudible next to it...

    50% of laptop users would end up breaking those feet off in the first week of use.

    its not really that hard to flip a picture over in many thousands of applications that can do it in a second... including things bundled with OSX, Windows, or most Linux Distros...

    Photobuck and Flickr also have an option to flip the photo, for future reference. ;)
