Apple is still selling PowerPC-based iMacs and PowerBooks along side the new Intel versions, which sort of implies that even Apple is admitting that the Intel boxes aren't for everyone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I really like my Panasonic camera, the DMC-FX9 is the updated version of mine. Sadly, the pink version isn't sold in the US.
How easy is it to use with Macs, Tom? Can you/do you just plug it in and let iphoto do the rest?

You'll have your cool compact PowerBook to keep you company while Apple gets the kinks out and more developers switch their code to run natively on Intel.
Thanks Spidra - I needed to hear that. I was just microwaving my lunch and thinking back a couple years to those unbelievably frustrating few months when my office switched to OSX and how every day revealed some new and even more frustrating problem to spend an hour working on - just so you could print. Thinking of this, I muttered to myself "Totally. totally." (Which, of course, was the answer to my internal question "Do I keep the powerbook I just bought?") just as a co-worker walked in. Heh.
Besides. I just bought this awesome laptop case. So I have to keep the 12"!

Also good to keep in mind.

Our wings are not tired
I'll have to look at the new Macs when I'm not on my Treo.
On the camera side I've go a Canon SD500 and I adore it. Amazing 7.1 megapixel phots and it's tiny. The new SD550 has a larger 2.5" screen. It works like a charm with iPhoto as well.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
iTunes 6.0.2 includes stability and performance improvements over iTunes 6.0.1.
Ah. Now I can update and see if it solves that annoying shuffle problem.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Not only that, but they are both on one chip, to faster interact with each other.

Random question: Why is Ebay telling me (not from a spam email or anything, just when I go to the site) that in order to change my email address, i have to give them a credit card to have on file? I don't want to do that! I rarely use Ebay, and when I do, I use paypal. I don't think they should need my credit card info! I just want to change emails...because the current one will likely be going away. (I'm trying to change to a yahoo account, so maybe that's the issue, but geez--I've had THAT for 7 years, the ones that aren't free come with my internet and that's changed over the years!)
