Let's kick of 2026 with some Apple appearances. "Accepted" has a classroom of eMacs, "Irresistible" has a background iMac G3, "The Tailor of Panama" has brief shots of a Clamshell iBook G3 and a Powerbook G3, and the "Married with Children" episode "Assault and Batteries" has a Macintosh Classic.

In "Accepted", the school's classrooms are equipped with eMacs.

Sophie has an iMac in her studio in "Irresistible".

In "The Tailor of Panama", Andy picks Harry from a list of potential agents using his Powerbook G3.

An Macintosh Classic appears in Ted's overactive imagination in "Married with Children".

So, this is a Pismo #powerbookg3. It’s in about 2,198 (not really) pieces in this photo. I know the power jacks on these things to be flaky as they age, and I noticed that power was not consistent. So, I took the whole thing apart and checked the power jack… and soon discovered it was the POWER CORD that was the problem. 😮‍💨

Moral of the story, check your power cords first. #computer #computerrepair #oldcomputer #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #vintageapple #retroapple #retro #retrocomputing

A desk is covered with the fully disassembled components of a PowerBook G3 “Pismo” laptop. The bottom casing of the PowerBook is positioned in the center-right of the desk, with its green logic board and other internals exposed. Around it are various parts removed from the system, including the CPU/RAM daughtercard, the optical drive, hard drive, heat sink, speaker assembly, AirPort card, keyboard, and the display panel, which sits toward the back-left of the desk with its cables still attached. Also on the desk are multiple precision screwdrivers, a magnifying glass, a blue and white ceramic coffee mug, a remote control, a CD-R, and some scattered screws and tools. A large flat-panel Sun Microsystems monitor looms behind the workspace, turned off, with another white Apple keyboard partly underneath it. Nearby, an iPad with a keyboard case is just visible at the right edge of the frame, and the corner of a laptop with SteelSeries stickers is tucked under the desk on the left.

Here's a collection of films that include Apple Powerbooks. The "Don's Analyst" has a 5300 and "Hitman's Run" has a 520c (and an incidental Commodore PET 2001 keyboard in a prop that has appeared in a number of places). Finally, "The Omega Code" and "Town & Country" both have Powerbook G3s.

Heute haben wir einen Computer gespendet bekommen, der schon etwas älter ist. Ich glaube, wir werden ihn nicht an eine Schülerin ausgeben... Verschrotten werden wir ihn aber auch nicht. Immerhin läuft er ja noch ;-)

I'm the proud owner of a #PowerBookG3 #M7572 #Pismo since yesterday. Was the last series of it. Only with 400MHz, but with 1GB RAM and a "fat" 40GB hard drive. At the moment the maintenance work such as charging the clock battery and renewing the cpu thermal paste.

Still running after all those years. Date can no longer be set to current one: 2019 + 1 = 1920 🙃
