No idea, Jilli.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Hey. New board.
Apple upgraded my Macbook Pro order from 1.67 GHz to 1.83 GHz for free, but also extended the ship date by 2 weeks.
Sigh. I need my new computer. This computer lab business is getting OLD.

So I'm looking at the PowerBook G4. Love it, hate it, worth the money?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I totally want a Powerbook. Except now I want a Macbook Pro instead.
Have they started discounting the PowerBooks yet?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, this is weird. All of a sudden, holding down any key on this keyboard works verrrrry sloooowly. (Deleting text, entering multiple letters in a word like sloooowly, etc.) Any idea what I could have changed? It's muy annoying.

I adore my now-three-year-old one. I want another, though until I can afford it, I'm just upping the RAM in Fredlet.
It survived a tumble that bent the frame, for crying out loud. (The frame's since been fixed.)

I've had mine for a year now. (One year tomorrow!) I love my Trixie. And she gets heavy use. Home, work, travel, at the Bean. I've really had no complaints.

Shrift - I just got a 12" powerbook in December and I have no regrets. I love it and - yes, it was expensive - but it was worth it.
I had momentary buyer's remorse when the MacBook Pro was announced but then I realized I really don't need anything 4x faster than the G4. It is plenty fast for me.
Also note: the only reason I got the powerbook was because I wanted a 12 inch notebook with a superdrive and you can't get the iBook with both of those things (only the 15" and 17" iBooks can come with superdrives). You may want to look at an iBook instead if those two things are not essential to you.

Well, I'm comparing the iBook and the PowerBook, and basically drooling all over the PowerBook hardware. I can afford a PowerBook, so... I'm trying to figure out what screen size I really need, and if I feel like spending ridiculous amounts of money on the 17". Or go smaller screen but up the hard drive.
