I personally don't think the Powerbooks list should cover older 
powerbooks - that's what the G-books list at Low End Mac is for.  We 
should change the name of the Titanium list to "Metalbooks" or 
something.  I'd hate for there to have to be another list when the 
mythical G5 Powerbook comes along - something like "WhiffleBook List".  
Metalbooks would cover all the G4 (and maybe the G5) powerbooks.

Listen to the G-books list for a while - it's mostly "how do I get this 
old hardware to work with X application" or "where can I get part Y for 
my PB 3400".  We need to keep the aluminum discussions with the 
titanium discussions, IMHO, because they are focused mostly on current 
issues with current operating systems and recent hardware.
