Of course, it wouldn’t be possible to bring you PBZone without our sponsors. We’re really proud to be associated with some top-notch firms that are known for excellent products and services in the Mac community. We’ll be adding some more names in the next few weeks, but we’d like to recognize our three “launch partners” today:

First, Booq has been with PBZone.com for quite some time. They’re got a great lineup of sleeves and bags for Apple’s entire line of portables and the iPod. I personally use their Vyper sleevecase for my PowerBook. They’re closing out their Vypers for PowerBook models at 50% off, so take advantage of that offer if you’re in the market.

TechRestore should be your first call if you damage your gear, from your iPod to your MacBook Pro and even PC laptops. They also offer upgrades with their same lightning-fast turnaround times. Their latest service is a common-sense priced data recovery service for when things go awry on your disk.

If you’re a bit more hands-on when your PowerBook, MacBook, or iPod needs a repair or upgrade, but you just need the actual parts, iFixit is like the Mac Home Depot; they’ll sell you the 2×4s, and you’ll get to nail them together. They’ve got AC adapters, batteries, wireless cards, hard disks, LCDs, and tons more for models as far back as the “Wallstreet” PowerBooks, which was the first model we ever covered on this site back in 1998.

Thanks again to the companies that make PBZone possible. If you’d like to join the ranks of sponsors, give us a shout at editor (at) pbzone (dot) com and we’ll be happy to share the options available to you.
