This has happened several times...

Apple may retain the line as its consumer low priced model, which it 
needs to be competitive. There are so many low cost boxes appearing on 
the windows side...so many...

The plastic also has many conveniences over the titanium and aluminum 
(should be called the cold book). I would probably prefer a G4 plastic 
body if it had all of the features of my titanium plus gave me 
expansion bays so I could remove the cd drive like I could on the Pismo 
and replace it with an extra drive.

Maybe Apple could have THREE lines of powerbooks, the low cost consumer 
model, the high priced prettybooks and then a rugged feature packed 
road warrior model.
