I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
(1995)

Looking for some of these. (Not the laptop, the plastic case in front of the laptop.)

cmeckhardt successfully found one, but only one, at Kotobukiya. We're looking for more of them.



The lid says, "If it always has folca an important thing will not forget":



They are apparently easy to find in Hyaku-en shops and Kyuujuu-kyuu-en shops (100 yen shops and 99 yen shops). Unfortunately we don't live very close to one.

I'm annoyed with Apple's unwillingness to repair my PowerBook.

I have a PowerBook G4 whose AppleCare will be running out in a week. It suffers from a wonky screen. The bottom two-thirds of it goes haywire occasionally. Usually, when it warms up, it settles down and works again, but I've stopped taking it with me anywhere because of it.

When I took it in in August, it was much worse than it is now. The tech at the Genius Bar took a look at it, said, "Well, it's damaged, and we don't cover damage. That problem never happens unless there's been some trauma to the machine, and I see you have scratches on the case. It's a $700 repair."

Trouble is, the scratches on the case are sliding it into and out of my backpack, and didn't correlate to when the screen started misbehaving.

That's the last time I pay for AppleCare, and possibly the last time I buy Apple. I'm considering a Panasonic Toughbook.
