Well, laptop wise PowerBook is the best, but you can call me crazy I prefer GNU-Linux OS over OSX and love my AMD 64 3500 1G desktop. - compiling my current project on PB G4 1.6 1G takes 1 minute and 6 seconds, while on desktop it is only 17 seconds; - one annoying thing on OSX for me is the lack of menu shortcuts, there are no underscored letters to easy keyboard based navigation; - another is the lack of control over appearance, functionality and focus behavior. I do not like that OSX forces me to use corner only to resize windows;
