Thanks for the opinions everybody - I've made the decision to purchase a G4 iBook, which I ordered this morning (!). I got the 800Mhz G4 with Combo drive, left it at 256MB memory for the time being, since that's easy to upgrade and I can sell the extra 128 down the road. I had Airport Extreme and Bluetooth installed, since my PDA (Palm Tungsten|T2) has bluetooth and we've got a wireless network @ home. All told, I'm very excited - estimated ship date is next Wednesday. James
