Hot off the press (or straight off the apple tree) we hear that Apple have just announced the release of a new line of Powerbooks. John Masefield once wrote: "Poetry is a mixture of common sense, which not all have, with an uncommon sense, which very few have." Apple Powerbooks are as close to poetry as technology can get, having both practicality and a beautiful, yet, understated sense of style.
