Thanks Peter - the point will be both to demo the
software but I'm also
expecting to talk about, and let people directly experience, the
materiality of the machine itself. It's sure to be a crowd-pleaser...though
I agree it's a bit risky to try to travel with an already aging and
delicate machine.
The bright side is that some of the earlier PowerBooks (before the
500 series) were fairly sturdy as laptops go. I'd be confident in
a 160 or 180 surviving multiple excursions, though as has been
mentioned, the batteries are probably totally shot (not a big deal
if you'll be keeping it plugged in for the demo).
