I'm in the process of changing jobs and am considering purchasing a

Powerbook (got a lump sum payment and am eyeing a new computer). I'm

iBook to a 1.25, 1.33 or 1.5gHz Powerbook and could share their
experience.
No direct experience here.  But reading between the lines, I feel you 
do not
really, really, need to do this.  The PowerBook would be a little bit 
nicer
for what you do, but will not help you make money.

You nailed it pretty well there Al. I don't NEED to upgrade, but it'd 
be nice and I have some money I could spend. The bigger screen size is 
a "nice to have not need to have" for work...

I checked out the Small Dog site and it was helpful, particulary 
because they had a 1gHz TiBook with 1GB off ram for $1599. That seems 
like a good compromise for me. It'll be a bit faster than the iBook I 
have, has more memory, and I get the widescreen to watch movies on the 
road (traveling for work) without spending $2500.

I've had good luck with Small Dog before, so I'll give it a shot. 
Besides, I'm sure my wife will appreciate the upgrade from her 600mHz 
iBook to my 900mHz one. :-)

cheers,
