This Does Not Compute | Restoring an In-Box Apple PowerBook from 1991! @ThisDoesNotCompute | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I picked up one of Apple's first laptops, a PowerBook 170, that was mostly complete with its original box. And while it doesn't appear to have suffered any abuse, the past 30 years have still taken their toll.
