P-P-P-Powerbook refers to a scam bait pulled by Something Awful Forums member MyNameIsJeff. After putting a friend's used Powerbook up for auction on eBay, Jeff received a response from a hacked account that was a poorly disguised escrow scam. Rather than ignore this response, he posted the information on the SA Forums accepting opinions on what should be done. One member suggested sending the scammer a three-ring binder poorly-illustrated to look like a laptop. Jeff obliged and used a Sharpie and broken keyboard keys to construct a crude facsimile of a Powerbook, which he then sent to the scammer. Several forum members investigated the address provided by the scammer, which turned out to be a barber-shop/internet cafe. It was thought that the members caught video footage of the package delivery, but this turned out to be a different package. After extended correspondence with FedEx, it was determined that the scammer had not paid taxes on the shipping. Another email was drafted and sent to the scammer which described the situation with the taxes. Soon afterwards, the scammer replied to the email and paid the taxes. The following Monday the package was delivered, but no further correspondence was heard from the scammer. ...more on Wikipedia about "P-P-P-Powerbook"

In Kyanka's own words, (w)ay back during my college days at Vanderbilt University, I almost ended up getting a summer job with the Putnam County Tax Assessor (because I was broke and needed to pay for college tuition). He was a very insane little man who legally changed his middle name to "(Low Tax)". ...more on Wikipedia about "Richard Kyanka" Stay cool with shortopedia. shortopedia
