If you’re wondering why I’m so quiet all of a sudden, other than the fact that I had to fly from Vegas to London, only to fly back to Washington D.C., where I am right now – it’s that my Powerbook’s internal power adaptor is faulty. This was probably the biggest reported issue with the Powerbook generation, but thankfully, it has been repaired with a new adaptor port in the Macbook generation.
My powerbook is literally dead, and all the information on it is safe, however, my blog notes are there – so I’ll try to give a roundup of Affiliate Summit Day 2 when I’m able to access those notes later this week!
To all those of you who made it to Affiliate Summit – hope you had a great show, and it was fun shooting the breeze with all of you!
See you at the next one!

Vinny, I think you were just unfortunate! I just ran a search on Wikipedia for “Powerbook” and found the paragraph below:
== Product recall of PowerBook G4 units by Consumer Product Safety Commission ==
On May 20, 2005, the Consumer Product Safety Commission ordered a recall of some Apple PowerBook G4 batteries. The official CPSC recall notice states that an internal short can cause the battery cells to overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. The defective batteries can be returned to Apple for replacement. Approximately 128,000 defective units were sold.
