  Back in 2006 I spilled a cup of tea on my PowerBook G4. The trackpad and button died so I had to start using a wireless mouse.

  In August 2007 I bought a new MacBook Pro. The PowerBook began it's new life on a shelf in the closet.

  Last night my dog chewed through the power supply cord of my MacBook Pro so I got out the PowerBook again. Lo and behold, the trackpad and button are now working.

  I are Jeebus.

  It's a ZombieBook now, though. It'll be going after your other computer's CPU (brains...) when you turn your back on it, so be vigilant.

  I take it you had time to get your working files onto the Powerbook in time?

  • Nope. But at least I can email, surf, etc. until I get a new power supply from eBay.– 5timuli1/8

    Still handy I guess. I wonder if you can use target disk mode if the target computer has no battery life...– ismith2/8

    Don't think so. And my MBP battery is fucked too. That's the 2nd one I've gone through.– 5timuli3/8

    I too am on my 3rd MBPro battery :\ I heard they may have extended my warranty though, so I might get a spare battery soon.– ismith4/8

    soon (for free).– ismith5/8

    Using this now; I highly recommend it although it feels cheap. Easily gave me an extra hour of battery life.– ismith6/8
