You, like myself, probably hit the sweet spot with Apple laptops where we have the Ornico wireless (just Airport, rather than Extreme), a Radeon chip with decent support and working suspend to RAM. These days it's all Broadcom wireless, NVidia chips (no drivers for PowerPC) and only software suspend to disk, which seems to cause as many problems as it solves. That and if BenH ever got hit by a bus (touch wood) I really wonder who else would step in to keep Linux support even where it's at. As Erik has noticed strange things can start to happen and you haven't really any clues on how to start fixing it. I certainly couldn't recommend the current crop of Apple laptops to anyone wanting to run Linux on them. -i
