Ever since 1995, I've been all about PowerBooks when I upgraded from my Mac Classic. I remember seeing the PB 100 back in 1991, and I knew I had to have one. Any comments on the Titanium? I like the ideas of thinner and lighter and DVD and bugger screen, but they seem to be lacking the sex appeal of my 1999 Bronze "Lombard" or any of the recent G3 models. Missing the curves! I have a feeling that Apple will, like the G3 series, continue to make evolutionary improvements on the current look set by Titanium, but I hope the next model will have DVD/CD-RW drives, more RAM, and be able to hold 2 batteries at once.

Smith about the song "Zip Zip," remembering from Aidan that Mr. Smith had written it. James Smith was called "The Great One" by Robyn, when Gretsky was still a young puck. In fact I believe Robyn greets James in the _Invisible Hitchcock_ liner notes. Here is what Mr Smith had to say this song. (Kind of interesting that Nuppy found this track just before it finally found official release, with the vinyl _underwater moonlight_ rerelease!) >Glad to oblige. The song was written by me, and originally recorded by >my band of 1978-80, the Containers at Spaceward Studios. The lineup was >Myself on Guitar and vocals, Adrian Foster bass,(Also bass player with >Cambridge pub/party favourites 'The Ducks On The Wall Gang' named after >a strip cartoon I once drew), Stella Barker on rhythm guitar (she later >played with The Bodysnatchers, as ska band, and The Belle Starrs, who >had several hits in the early eighties), with Robyn on lead guitar for a >couple of numbers (not Zip Zip) and Morris Windsor on drums. > >The version you may have heard was recorded at Alaska Studios, Waterloo, >London SE1 as part of the Underwater Moonlight sessions, or shortly >afterwards.
