JPi recently souped up her shitty Lombard (blech!) and made a <a href="http://web.utk.edu/~jpiatek/marsbook/" cool Mars icon </a> for it. Sweet!

My damn iBook pisses me off so much, it's becoming very tempting to scrap the thing and get a nice new (slaver, slaver) 14" G4 933Mhz. Yum. it ain't a desktop machine, but it's a close cousin. Wow, I could actually run OS X! I could have a decent-sized HD! I'm giddy with the very thought.

That means I'd have an extra iBook -- I can renew Apple's "we'll repair the damn thing any time it breaks" plan, and it seems to make more sense keeping a spare than the $200 I might get if I sold it.

So what should I do with the old one? It's very tempting indeed to make some jazzy decorations for it, of one sort or another. Of course, if it got *too* Jazzy no doubt Apple would say "bite me!" with regards to the warranty. Hmm.

But since you can scrape off the white paint and replace it, it is sorta tempting to do something crazy...
