In PCsaviour’s words, here’s a snapshot of my Powerbookasaur with its bottom panel removed, suspended and HP laptop optical drive substituting my faulty one. He is currently fixing my G4 Mac Powerbook which will be handed down to my brother. His initial task really was to wipe out the hard-drive and re-install the software so it will be “brand new” for the new user. In truth, this machine used to be held in high regard and has now been relegated to the status of Dinosaur. The built-in CD-ROM drive has gone kaput for a while and PCsaviour had to try every possible means to get the OS installed; which of course will not be possible without a drive! He couldn’t resist sending me this pic and even proudly showing the installer running. I had to laugh really hard when I saw what he sent.

Here’s coming to you soon, bro!
