- Last Thursday, I finally bought a new Mac, after months and months of pondering what to buy. I decided to buy a 2nd hand PowerBook G4 from an Apple retailer (so I get support and guarantee). It’s a 15″ PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz, 768Mb of RAM, Radeon 9600 with 64Mb of RAM, 60GB hard disk, and a combodrive. It runs Tiger, and I’m really, really happy with it - it’s in mint condition. I’ll up the RAM to 1.5GB next month.
- I’m launching a web comic on and about OSNews. It’s a definite gamble, but I like doing it, and the first responses were very positive. We have settled on a name, which will be revealed as soon as we get the website in order to publish comics.
- I’ll spend my New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam.

So I guess you took my advice? ;-)
O well, I was talking iBook, but that included the Powerbooks.
Those PPC machines are extremely stable.
I’d prefer running Tiger on a machine like that, FTTB.

Ha, that is the same machine I ended up giving away to someone in my dept. top replace their aging PowerBook (500mhz G4). I love the power management of the PowerPC laptops. You can put them to sleep and leave them for a week with only a few percentages of power lost in the meantime. Have fun with your new toy.
