Comment Gave up (Score 1) 302

I owned 54 macintoshes, I still have them all. I also type at over 100wpm. I had to give up on them. They used to have the best in the buisness. Not only cost I type on them fast, I break them. U used to wear the letters off the keys, but I would not break them. I use a Linux laptop now that I chose for its keyboard. Macs were once for creating things so input was important. Now it seems they are for consuming things.

Comment I had this issue with a G4 laptop (Score 2) 222

I had a dead 12" white g4 powerbook. This happened to the cpu. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I took out the mother board, wrapped all of it bu the cpu with aluminum foil. I put a tea light on the chip (it was about the same size) I fired it up figuring it would be a prayer to the computer gods, or part of a wake ceremony. Once everything cooled off the laptop worked, still does. I wonder if a little heated press could be made to heat up and re-seat the chip without letting it slide at all. Sounds like an aftermarket tool business if anyone wants to make it.
