I really hadn't looked at PowerBooks because of their expense. My wife was considering a G4 IBook 14" screen which would retail for $1,300 with a 1GHz processor. 40GB HD, 256M of ram. At SmallDog, found this sale on a G4 PowerBook http://www.smalldog.com/wag14620/atdealmacex#link_1 DealMac Exclusive PowerBook 15in G4/1GHz 256/60/Combo/BT w/ an extra PC2700 SO DIMM 512mb DDR 333 for free. This one comes with Slot-loading Combo (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 with 64MB of DDR SDRAM Built-in Bluetooth; 54-Mbps AirPort Extreme ready Am I nuts to pass this one up and go for the iBook instead???
