I do know about fixing old PowerBook plastics though. I'm sure everyone here gets tired of me mentioning Ambroid ProWeld plastic welder, but the stuff does a fantastic job of fixing cracked old PowerBook plastics. It can't replace missing pieces, but if you have everything you can pretty much repair all of it with ProWeld. I've reassemebled some pretty shattered 'Book parts, doesn't always look pretty once I'm done but it's functional. If yer _very_ careful and the parts fit together well you can do a nearly invisible repair. dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
