[Ti] New PowerBook Decisions

[Robert Nicholson]

I just recently picked up the new BTO 1.67 100, 1GIG, 128mb VRAM 
powerbook from the Applestore here in Chicago. Was quite happy to be 
able to buy directly in the store and I can tell you after upgrading 
from my Tibook 800 this is a very nice machine by comparison. I myself 
would never feel comfortable with the 17" as I tend to move around a 
bit and would only consider the 17" machine a desktop replacement.
