Not the most important correction, but if it had a G4 processor, that would be a PowerBook G4 (or iBook G4). Apple didn’t call their laptops MacBooks until they switched over to Intel.

You are correct, now that I think about it. I loved that machine. Passed it down to my mother who destroyed it in a week by dumping coffee on it.

"No big whoop. I bet you do it all the time."

Ouch, that’s unfortunate. The aluminum PowerBooks were beautiful machines too; I can’t deny that I was lusting over them when they first released!

I think you are confusing liquidmetal (a "super alloy") with liquid metal (a gallium alloy liquid at room temperatures).
