These are the electrical and environmental requirements for the new Powerbook:

Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet
Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 feet
Maximum shipping altitude: 35,000 feet

??????

Does this mean that I can not use this powerbook on the Concorde because it goes above 35'000 feet?

not

All of this information can be found with minimal effort on Apple's website:

You can use it at your own risk I am sure. If something was to happen, it would void your warranty.

Considering airplanes are pressurized, I see no reason why your Powerbook would be damaged on the Concorde.

This is a joke, right? :-s

Hi
I was going to say what Par said. Every so often I am impressed Par. You have to learn what I did, finally. The situations with high interest you become very biased. But anyway...Aircrafts wouldn't technically be considered to be similar to an environment 35,000 feet in the air. They have environmental systems that make it feel (conditions) more like normal ground level height to keep passengers comfortable. So, it SHOULDN'T be a problem. It is more of a warning to people that live in areas where they are that many feet above the "water line." Such as places with mountains, like Duluth, Minnesota, or wherever. Does that clear things up?

the same was true for the powerbook G3 yet i remember apple making a big deal about a team bringing one up mount everest.

pressurized cabins simulate the altitude on land, thats why they can serve little bags of peanuts and not have them explode.

I am not sure if the storage bay of airplanes are pressurized too, just to be safe you should take it with you as a carry on. I assume they are though since pets are put down there.

Now wouldn't that be an interesting experience. Everytime you gave out peanuts you would have people yelling "DUCK" before they openend them. Or once you took off you would have to have little clamps on them.

I would think you would shut it down first. So, it wouldn't be a big problem, I would think.

I guess, I've never heard of a frozen, exploded Fluffy before. Though, I've never watched for such news.

Sorry, I just had to make a fun post with this info.

actually, there are at least 2 different storage cabins in the bottom of air planes, and at least one is somewhat heated, and somewhat presurized for pets, like dogs...
