I took delivery of a Titanium Powerbook [667] with 1 GB RAM and the 
16MB video RAM Radeon with a few side goodies:

A LaCie electron22blue monitor, Kensington TurboMouse Pro, two 
additional Apple Extended keyboards [white for home, black for the 
office]. An EZQuest external firewire portable hard drive, a LaCie 
portable hard drive [which ran hot, and died, thoroughly, recently], 
an Epson C80 printer, Epson 1240 Scanner, an irport base Station, a 
belkin firewire hub,  a Belkin Router, a Book Endz dock [whose 
firewire port died shortly after initial use], a Palm m130, a 10 GB 
iPod, and a Targus leather case for the P-Book. Oh, and VirtualPC, 
which came with Win2kPro, and now runs XP, [upgraded to VPC 6].

The delivery happened exactly 24 hours before Mr. Jobs announced the 
availability of the 'new' 800 MHz Powerbook, wouldn't you know?

To be honest, I don't really mind the slower CPU speed nearly as much 
as I'd rather have a video card with a at least twice as much RAM. 
The spanned monitors, which I use 99% of the time, divide the 16MB on 
the Radeon into 2 X 8MB, which allows a lot of anomalies, although 
screen redraws have improved, considerably, with 10.2.3.

When folks say that the Powerbook may, or may not be appropriate as a 
'standalone' system, on the desktop, I have to wonder what on Earth 
they're concerned about. I love it.

cheers,
Brian Stegner
