Save the best parts

keys from a powerbookA friend recently gave me an Apple Power­book to dis­pose of prop­erly. When it was new in 2001, it was the very finest lap­top money could buy. The start­ing price was $1,999. The case was made of tita­nium, a costly light­weight metal. (Today Apple uses cheaper aluminum.)

As I was about to take that bro­ken beauty to Best Buy for free recy­cling, I opened it up one last time and thought of keep­ing the keys that meant some­thing. I saved out B-E-N (one of my two sons’ names) and P-A-U-L. Sadly, I could not keep enough keys to make up my remain­ing fam­ily mem­bers’ names.

So before you throw that thing away, what small part can you save that will let you remem­ber its beauty?
