The shafts are very narrow and lined with foam. No effective way to clean out the dust that is sure to accumulate. No filters. Will clog and die inside of a month.:(
Here is another major difference, for design and usability freaks like me. The 12" Powerbook has all cable connections on one side of the laptop: left. The 12" Ibook has most on the left, but the power connection is on the right. It's a small design choice, but Powerbook did it right.
Actually it looks like 12" Powerbook is the only Apple laptop will all cables on one side. (QTVR is fun)
This is designed by Andre' LaMothe, well known and regarded game programming author. Here is a guy who truly understands the spirit of video games, and is actually interested in spreading this knowledge and skill.
Here we use a P120 laptop w/OpenBSD as a wireless router. Used to serve files and mysql webs off it but got slow, so moved serving to a "mini" system.
Don't use the MSI NetPC MS-6215T system as a server. The power supply is only 90 watts. I ran it 24/7 for a year, the next time I powered it down, it wouldn't power back up. Was running a P3 Tualatin (low power) 1.13ghz, Geforce PCI card, Wifi, and 60gb hard drive. Now I power the system with a standard sized ATX power supply sitting outside the case. Works but is UGLY.
But do use the Shuttle SS51g. It has a small but full power 200w power supply. Been running the hell out of this thing with 60+80gb hard drives, Geforce AGP, and Wifi. Not a single problem. Also the cooling solution in these things is very very nice.
I regularly record TV shows with EyeTV. I archive the files to mirrored hard drives, then burn them for viewing on TV. (I have TV-out, but the standalone DVD player looks and sounds better) After I'm done with the CDs I give them away or use them for drink coasters.
I don't trust CDR for long term storage. We don't know the long term properties of CDR dye, CD's get lost or scratched, I've even bought a 30-pack of Maxell CDR's that had a topside nick in every disc on the same location. CDR will forever be temporary storage to me.
So, now, when you learn about computer science, you learn about the file as if it were an element of nature, like a photon. That's a dangerous mentality.
The so-called "reader" actually contains the full games, all of them. The cards only store some index to the game, along with some trivial security perhaps.

This is a 6-year old's Tyco slot-racer fantasy....
I simply had to have the last beige Apple. I bought a G3/233 mini-tower on Low-End-Mac's trading list. $99.
;)
128mb stick RAM (free, laying around), plus 64mb standard, total 192MB.
Installed Jaguar ($50 used) using an ATAPI DVD Drive (free, borrowed from a PC).
Installed $19 USB card for EyeTV and printer.
This thing can capture VCD quality video using EyeTV, while playing net radio in iTunes. No skips in either the captured video or radio playback.
OS/X response is laggy but decent. I was surprised how responsive the transparent terminal windows were when moved around...
I'm about to buy another beige, this one with a G4/466 XLR8 upgrade... wee!
PS I have an ADB fetish.

This thing is a better X-Box than X-Box. I'm surprised Microsoft granted them a WinXP embedded license...
Lots of Japanese industrial equipment runs TRON. It's a trip running a Japanese OS.

I agree with AnglerG, Allegro is a very friendly library, easily understood by children.
Another thought. Emulate a C64 and run Game Maker etc...

But the file makes a pretty decent photon. Plan9

This is my favorite slimline PC. Supports P-III 1ghz+, costs under $300 barebones.
