Product Name: APP for PowerBook (w/ or w/o display) - Enrollment Kit
Estimated time to ship: 1-2 business days
Ok, leaving aside questions about why they can ship a PowerBook the same business day, but take 1-2 days to ship a piece of paper, I can’t wait. My poor old battered but beautifully decorated 15″ PowerBook is giving me problems keeping the charger making connection, plus it’s just too damn slow.
Now I have to figure out how to transfer all the music I bought from ITMS on the old laptop to the new one.
At least once I have a replacement in hand, I can re-epoxy the replaced hinge and not be tempted to open it up before it’s had a good two days to cure.

Firewire target disc mode, de-register old machine, register new machine? Or am I missing something?

And also, I’m jealous.

Ian’s suggestion sounds good, but if that doesn’t work you’ll have to break the law and use http://www.hymn-project.org/jhymndoc/ to retain your legally purchased music.
