I went sort of the other way.  I went from a G4 iBook to a MacBook.   
I was pretty good and I upgraded the hard drive too...it's really  
nice that you can do that.  But, I just had to have a MacBook Pro and  
when they released the Core 2 Duo's I got one.  You *can* upgrade the  
hard drive but it involves a major disassembly of the computer that  
I'm not willing to risk.  The PC-Card slot has come in very handy.  I  
bought a Verizon wireless card and I'm able to take it anywhere and  
be connected.  Not as fast as Cable or DSL but still pretty fast.   
The graphics are much better than on the MacBook.  The MacBook Pro is  
significantly faster too.
I love mine!
