From The Road Warrior Archive - PowerBooks And Subtlety

For this from The Archive selection I've chosen a real oldie - a musing on PowerBooks and subtlety published way back in June, 1999. At the time, the current PowerBook was the G3 Series Lombard (aka "Bronze Keyboard"), which was simultaneously the first Apple laptop with built-in USB and the last with an HDI-30 SCSI port before the changeover to FireWire that came with the PowerBook G3 Pismo in March, 2000. I got a particular kick out of revisiting my list of my list of features for the "ideal PowerBook," and which pretty closely anticipated and described the dual USB iBook which was nearly two years in the future at the time
