I use my buddies IBook occasionally and my old roommate had a g4. I have
to say that I love MACs. I wanted to a MAC when I was a kid but my uncle,
a programmer for AT&T, convinced my parents that MAC were toys and to get
me a PC. The Powerbooks are supposed to be top notch machines. I remember
when they realized the titanium power books for the first time. I was
working for a digital media house arm of a ad agency at that time and
remember seeing 10 Powerbooks being delivered to the office. Most of the
graphic design people purchased the powerbooks individually for private use
and everyone got their shipment the first available day. I have never seen
a group of people "have to get" a product like that. 10 Separate people
ordering a product and having it express delivered. As a side note, James
Gosling and his team use PowerBooks for their development work.
