I'd be doing anything in my power (boom! boom!) to hold out for an 
Intel Mac.

I know you can't manage without a lappy, but why not point out to your 
boss how much the proposed new 1.67/G4 Powerbook may be expected to 
depreciate when the new range is announced? Maybe a cheap secondhand G3 
laptop could be purchased as a stop-gap? You'd surely loose very little 
reselling it in three months time, and you could point out to your boss 
how much goodwill he'd generate by going a little out of his way to 
ensure you have the laptop you really want. From what I'm hearing here, 
VPC is no way to run Solaris x86
