Bought it in 2001. Still running well. (The old T-book laptop.) What
can I do to keep this thing going? Tune ups?

No one can say how long your PowerBook will last.  Running disk
utilities will help keep your hard drive's directories in order, but
eventually a part, generally the hard drive itself, will fail.  Of
course, should that happen it's not terribly expensive or difficult to
replace, but you would lose whatever you don't keep backed up.
