I got my 12" Powerbook back today.
New motherboard, super drive and they even fixed the F10 key which was hanging halfway off. I am glad that I got it back with all my data intact. I still spent the better part of an hour moving things from my loaner 15" Macbook Pro. That thing is sweet. 2 gigs of ram helps. It does everything faster. I was ripping some DVDs tonight and started out on the Powerbook. The job was going to take 8 hours. I then did the same thing on the Macbook Pro and it took under 2 hours. Nice. The only not nice about the thing is the size of it. I love the bigger screen. It did take some time for me to adjust to the keyboard. It was a bit to big to comfortably open on a coach plane seat. And it was to big to open in my cramped bottom bunk. So as much as I hate to do it I am leaving it home and taking the 12". I think the thing I am going to miss the most is the built in camera. It was like a scanner/camera take photos of anything device. Quite a few of the photos on here were taken with it. Getting an external camera for the 12" would not be the same thing. I keep kind of not looking but looking at the clock on the computer. I like that I don't have a purpose built clock in my apartment. Wait, I do have a watch but I only wear it when I am on tour. So at home its either looking at my phone, computer or hitting a few buttons on the remote to get the cable box to display the time. Like I said, at the moment I am looking at the clock on the computer. I once again do not really feel like leaving tomorrow. Besides being physically exhausted I am simply not looking forward to this. I already know to many bad things about it, and none of the good. If there is any. Not to be negative, but realistic. How many times do you have to step in shit before you know it stinks and gets stuck to your shoes? But, most people don't get paid to step in it. Depends on how you look at it. Like everything else.
