This one takes the cake... or is that pie.
Never mind, you have to read this posting on Slashdot:

"Okay, I work at an Apple Authorized Retailer and we just had a lady come in to see if we could fix her PowerBook G4. She walks in the store and comes up to me, 'Sir, I've got a baked Apple.' The top of the screen was a little brown and warped. The lady opened up the machine and the screen was all cracked, and there was not a single key left on the keyboard. It turns out she had the machine in the oven for 20 minutes, baking at 400 degrees. No joke. And what's even more amazing. The machine still works. Ethernet, Modem, USB, it all works. Plug in an external monitor and keyboard and it's good as new ... almost."
Am I the only one for whom this conjures up images of Shrinky Dinks?
Once you've read it, you will understand why Apple should change their tagline to "It takes a cooking and keeps on PowerBooking".
