I had one of those G3 laptops. I worked in San Francisco at the time and feared nobody on the streets or in the subway.

That was one hellacious hunk of machinery. I later used it with a serial adapter (shown above) to cold-boot and configure lots of Sun servers.

LOVED the "uploading virus" scene. Still do.

I am replying on a 27" iMac ... this has been a life-saver for me. Big sharp (for the time) screen, nice on my aging eyes. iMac and I are still functioning OK.
