Ditto on the iBook. I have the same machine and it beats any laptop that I have ever owned. Even if I had the money to purchase a larger powerbook, I don't think that I would do it. I like the compactness of the iBook. All of the other people that I work with have PC's (except one other co-worker whom I infected with Mac fanaticism). I use Think Free Office which seems to be compatible with Excel and Word because none of them complain that they cannot open my documents. A totally great system!
