A few years ago my folks bought me an 800Mhz Titanium Powerbook as a birthday gift.
I've loved it since day one. Last year I put a new, fast 100Gb Seagate (7200 rpm) into it last year and that was a real speed boost. Today, I installed a new DVD burner (it never came with one) from OWC Computing. It had been some time since I had looked for one, but the price is now down to about $120.
My CD burner had stopped burning CDs, sounding like a washing machine when I tried. The new drive only took about 1/2 hr to install (courtesy of some Torx bits) and seems to work the treat.
There's life in the old dog yet..
