[Ti] like hell freezing over ?

[Greg Chapel]

How about my situation? I have a PB Ti 800 mhz. that is over 3 years old and
my logic board is starting to fail (vertical lines all over display). What
do I do now?

Buy a new PowerBook which is slated to be phased-out in less than two years?
Try to get by for two years with this failing unit and then buy an x86 PB
that doesn't run my old software well, possibly waiting an additional 2
years until new apps are x86 native?

What a mess!

Greg

I kept telling myself not to buy a powerbook till the PowerBook G5
came out, kept telling myself. I guess this ends that. Now I just
have to decide whether to upgrade to the "next" generation of
powerbook, or whether to buy a Libermann : )
