I guess I'm just thinking back to when my HP laptop died and I borrowed my friend's e-Mac and it was *useless." I couldn't do anything on the net, and all I could do for my stories was type on TextEdit.

But I see where you're coming from.

I don't got the cheese to spend, so I will probably go for the MacBook. That is, if I can get at least a couple hundred dollars for the G5.
