My 1 Ghz PowerBook G4 is no longer usable. It will no longer take a charge, no matter what battery I use. I got seven good years out of it. And it was a MUCH better system than that lemon 500 Mhz PowerBook G4 I had prior. Of course I broke the cardinal rule, I bought the first rev of an Apple product.
Now if my three year old Dell laptop would perform half as well as my seven year old PowerBook did, I would be happy to use it as a laptop replacement. I think it is WIndows XP. This Inspiron 700m is slow as shit. Shamefully I need it to test web pages on, so I don't think I will be installing Linux on it any time soon.
I will sure miss my PowerBook. I will get another Mac laptop some day. But my next Apple purchase will be a Pro desktop, to replace my "aging" three year old dual 2.5 Ghz proc G5.
Computers sure don't last long enough any more.

Wow, thanks for all the traffic MacSurfer. For anyone who is reading this, I found out the cost for a DC board and cable.
My dad looked the parts up on Apple's web site and he can get the board for $7 and the cable for $6. So next time I am home we will give it a shot. If it doesn't fix the issue I am not out much at all.
