I enjoyed this essay. The picture for this article seems to me to be somewhat in the style of the illustrations that apple used for the early mac user manuals.

Also, Powerbook 160s have a particular issue with their active matrix displays. A tunneling that happens over time. The 160c with it's color display doesn't have this issue but pretty much all b+w models do. The edges become darker and darker until only the center of the display is usable. It varies based on temperature and humidity, and machine to machine, but they are all eventually doomed. My powerbook 180 sits around, and it use it time to time, but only for 20 minutes at once.
