Not only does your local Apple authorized repair center dude exhibit a

AppleCare to deal with an issue with a covered computer, which, of course,
covers him entirely and insures that he is paid what he has

I think, given your recent update and the images you supplied, that my original
estimate of cost is very close to what you can expect, as they stand. If I were

international
shipping is somewhat prohibitive. I

Most of us will tell you that, hands down, the Pismo is probably the brightest
star ever put in the notebook sky by Apple. True, they are becoming somewhat
dated, but my PB 2000-400 Firewire is loaded with 1 GB RAM and a new 30 GB HD,
running OS X.3.9 and just keeps on working.

Go to www.allelectronics.com and search for feet (don't use their link to
Rubber Feet/Bumpers as it returns nothing). Feet will get you five
different items.
I used one of their small, clear feet (cat# RF-33); not quite perfect, but very

Is it enough for you to be able to run OS X.94.x Pussycat?

I'd say a critical question is, Why does the DVD work, but the audio CD does

Hey, now wait just a minute there. Those of us from the California coast think
Pismo is just about the sexiest name on the Planet. And besides, it has the

Well, that makes me feel really good, Gary. Apparently, some educated guessing
