Ooh cool! That means I can do work from my iBook....
Wait, maybe that's not cool.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All is well that ends in pizza.
It's suspiciously free.
(Which I've added to the post, above, making this one redundant.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Question for those with the 17" Powerbook -- is it too wide to use on a plane in economy class?

Hmmm, don't have one, but here are the specs for size, it might help for the visualization:
17-inch model
- Height: 1.0 inch (2.6 cm)
- Width: 15.4 inches (39.2 cm)
- Depth: 10.2 inches (25.9 cm)

I'm okay with visualising the laptop (I was at the Apple store yesterday). It' been longer since I've been in a plane, though. You wouldn't happen to have standard widths of the trays, would you?

Mostly lurking...
ita, I found this:
From an article on the Powerbook laptop computer: "Despite its admirable design and plethora of features, the new PowerBook's dimensions can be inconvenient. It swallows nearly all of a coach airline tray table, about 16.5 by 10.5 inches."
Therefore, the consensus appears to be around 16.5" wide by 9.5-10.5" deep. The exact dimensions will, understandably, vary by airline.

Oh, thanks, vw. Nearly all I can live with. It's not like I was ever using the rest of the space with a laptop open anyway.

Our wings are not tired
I've used mine on airlines. It's workable until the person in front of me decides to lean their chair back, then there's not enough space for the screen.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I run into that problem with my 15-inch.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
this discussion sounds vaguely nasty.
or is it just me?
