27 days, 14 hours...

My main computer is my nearly 4 year old Apple 12" G4 PowerBook laptop. It has been an absolute workhorse for me and still runs all the current software I require (OS X 10.5.4, Adobe CS3 Design Suite Premium, Office 2008, etc.). Apple pushed out a system software/security update for it last week that required a reboot after install. Prior to rebooting the machine had been up and running problem free for 27 days, 14 hours...

Pretty impressive in a geek kind of way...

UPDATE: Nov. 24, 2008, I must have jinxed myself with this post. In the first week of November my beloved 12" PowerBook's on board video card died; needing an entire system board replacement. Apple charges more than the computer is worth for a new system board so I opted for one of the new all aluminum 13" MacBooks. And so far I'm completely impressed in every way with the new computer. I really like being able to use Parallels - I have XP & Ubuntu virtual machines up and running. Hopefully this is the beginning of another long run with this laptop. As of this writing the new MacBook has been running for 5 days, 1 hour and 13 minutes....
