I hate Cafe Press. Would anyone be able recommend an alternative?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My PowerBook won't, well, power on.
If I pop out the battery, plug it into the wall and hit the power button I hear a hard drive whir, it plays a chord, and then is silent.
I must be overlooking something painfully obvious, right? But what?

Hey. New board.
It seems stupid, but is it possible for some reason it's defaulting to the screen being all the way down in contrast?
If it's really chording and then not powering on (as in, capslock button doesn't light up or anything) then... no, you're probably not missing something painfully obvious. Something bad is happening. I'm not sure how Macs deal with dead hard drives - never really experienced one, despite many other problems - but it might be worth trying to boot from some sort of bootable CD, if you've got one.

I left it alone for an hour, and now it's working again.
I don't have the energy to work out why, but thanks for giving it a shot.

Hey. New board.
No problem. Can't sleep. And the leave-it-alone-an-hour is my favorite way to fix things.
Sadly, it has not fixed the "q" key on my laptop since I spilled water on it. Or the CTRL key. Any suggestions on curing obnoxious keyboard stoppages? Anybody? Bueller?

I haven't used it myself, but people seem to like Zazzle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I totally don't need this, but this is the awesomest CD player evah: [link]

If you could rip with that thing, it'd be a huge explosion of cool.
What's wrong with Cafepress? Not that I know much about alternatives, just that knowing what's wrong can help with better suggestions.
Now I need to work out how to google that SIM thing and get useful results.

What I don't like about Cafe Press is that it took them three tries to get my order right. I have heard similar things from others. Also I'm told they don't have girlie t-s in black.
