oik Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 http://www.progsoc.org/~arh/sophie/FieryPowerbook/ on gizmodo.com: "It's a sad fact of life that God hates Mac users. If you needed any more proof, check out these pictures of this burnt and charred 12-inch Powerbook, caught in an apartment fire, which despite the damage and encrustations is reported to still work. What can we learn from this? In a kickboxing match between Jesus and Jobs, Steve would win. I know it's shocking, but if there's one thing I've learned from Internet, it's that digital pictures cannot lie. They don't even have tongues!" :laugh: (oh, and any mod who would like to edit the title to "jesus vs. jobs"... go nuts :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angrybrit Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 what a goof, posing for photos in her burnt down flat and she doesn't really look unhappy. :blink: Poor little PowerBook tho. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_logic Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 So it still works? I seriously doubt it. Even the casing survived the fire, those plastic parts inside it probably melted due to the high temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandMaster Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 i just realized how nice it is that people can actually smile knowing that their whole apartment has burned down. without insurance her life would have surely been ruined =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 it's your word against hers :ninja: She never says it still works. Quite obviously, if the outside looks like that, the inside has to have some melted hareware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Tom Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I bet she burnt down her home for the insurance money :devil: , then realized her uninsured powerbook was in there. Lucky for her Apple makes fire-proof notebooks :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
