I have the Pismo 400 and have been running OS X since January. I have had no problems at all. X is more stable on it than it is on my G4 desktop. No problem watching DVDs but the DVD player in OS X is missing one feature I really liked in 9. The system will not remember where you left off if you choose not to finish watching all at once. You have to start from the beginning. But playback is way better. Otherwise, I can heartily recommend the switch based on my experience. Greg -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
