Nice. My wife uses a G4 for DV editing with iMovie. Really nice piece
of kit for something nearly 5 years old.

I use a Powerbook G4. It's been a nice machine, but it's getting kind of
long in the tooth. I'll upgrade as soon as Apple comes out with a
Powerbook G5. That is, IF they come out with a Powerbook G5. Rumors are
flying that Apple is negotiating with Intel to use Intel chips. They
have a substantial power-consumption advantage over the Motorola/IBM
chips, which is especially important in a laptop.

OS X rocks.

Indeed.

Careful if you decide to upgrade to Tiger with that PB G4 though. I've
decided to hold off. Many issues with various apps and I'm still not sure
if they've gotten Cisco to get their VPN client to work correctly. And, a
friend who upgraded to Tiger on both his PB G4s says that they run HOTTER
with Tiger. Now, mine already is pretty toasty, can't imagine it warmer
yet...

PHEW!! When I first saw the subject, I thought it said "Too long on
the_dork_ side" and I thought I might be forced to agree with you...

it's like sitting in front of a t.v. playing a two minute video of jackie
mason doing knock-knock jokes.......on an endless loop......strapped in an
uncomfortable chair......on
amphetamines......with your eyelids pinned open. which, if you think about
it, is eerily similar to reading hunter thompson......hm........

Those who read headers will notice something quite different
about this post. I spent almost five years on the dark side,
I do *NOT* know what the hell I was thinking, but when my
little VAIO kicked the bucket the other day, may she RIP,
I replaced her with this beast.

Woo Hoo !! Unix under the hood again !! If I *ever* decide
to use a Micro$oft box again would someone *PLEASE* shoot me.

Ahhhh ****. If I have to think anything even slightly common sense about
you Forty it'll ruin your perfect record.
