it looks like the original programmer is still sort of poking at it in his spare time, but he's not doing releases or builds anymore. looks like he's probably tapering off as time goes by, too, so "just build it yourself" will stop being a thing at some point.

i didnt see any active forks, but maybe something will come up eventually :gbsmith:

my 12" powerbook was a piece of poo poo

1.33ghz with a fan that was always running and sounded like it was grinding chipmunks, dim blotchy screen, two warranty replacement hard drives and one recall replacement battery, oh and the aluminum was pitting around the wrist rests, something that i haven't had happen before or since

i sold it on craigslist for $500 like a week before they announced that osx wasn't going to support ppc anymore and good riddance

The old IBM R series laptops from 2005~ are pretty awesome. Framework laptops *could* be neat, but probably won't be.

But I'ma have to give it to The Chungas Extreme himself: MSI GT80 Titan, featuring 2 GTX 980s in SLI and a 80% depth mech keyboard, and perhaps the worst touchpad known to man.

yeah, i gotta think they'd be unbearably slow these days, since they weren't real fast even then. either way, the whole thing is rad as hell. a nice low-bezel ips display today with a modern cpu would be super compelling for me personally

I had one of these. It wasn't all that great, the screen was pretty crappy, and it was awkward to use. Also the pointing stick mouse wasn't as good as Thinkpads used to be.
