[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 291013, member: 24098"] Thanks. It sounds like you know exactly where I'm coming from. I'm just so bored with computers lately - and I hate that feeling. I used to have a lot of enthusiasm for them and felt like it was one of those small things that sort of "defined" me. I've lost that lately and I think that's my biggest motivator for trying something new. Anyway, I'm dieing to get a Mac. I've been bidding on 12" PowerBooks on eBay, but have yet to find what I'm after at a good price. I'd really like an Intel machine, but I'm concerned that I won't find a whole lot of software that runs on it. Is there some sort of PPC emulation on the Intel Macs? I thought about a MacBook, mostly because I like the smaller form factor that the 13" screen provides, but I'm not too fond of integrated graphics. I'd also like a Cardbus slot for expandability and the faster Firewire 800 port should I do any video work. So, since I can't find exactly what I'm looking for at the moment, I think I might just wait until after Macworld to see what's new. Meanwhile, I'm going to continue lurking in Mac forums and maybe pick up a subscription to MacAddict in the meantime. I just hope that doesn't fuel the fire... but it probably will :p [/QUOTE]
