Re: baked apple



This example is way beyond anything being durable. I'm willing to take a
stab at this one... When the Titanium PowerBook first came out, I once was
reading a thread on SlashDot about burning titanium. Supposedly, it gives
off a blue glow when the material burns. Someone else mentioned that this
model wasn't the first to use titanium, and that one or more of the NeXT
computer models used the same material. The last thing I remember of the
thread, someone was going to attempt to use a blow torch on a NeXT computer
to see what would happen. I'm wondring if the person tried a similar
experiment with this particular Powerbook unit.
