Trade/swap for Powerbook?

Hey all,

Got my MacBook because I thought that going back and forth between windows and OSX would be great... but I found that I don't do that. I don't even have windows installed on the system.

So, I am considering trading my MacBook for a G4 PowerBook... if I can find anyone to swap with ;-) Would what everyone say about that? I mean, as far as I understand, Universal apps are good on both. They will still, very much, be supporting the older Mac architechture for quite some time...

All I really do is browse the web, organize pictures, work with GarageBand, use Itunes... that REALLY is about it. If I could get something that is a bit more... robust, that would be great.

Thoughts?

why would you want to trade a ~1200 dollar computer for one you can get on ebay for about 5-700?

If you are looking for something more robust, you keep what you have. It appears that you are planning on trading down.

I wouldn't mind trading, lol.
You would have to wait though, I am sending mine back to get the motherboard replaced, due to a memory problem, I have been working like thta for over a year because I had no time where I could live with out it.

Does it have to be a powerbook. Sounds like you dont need much power. I have an ibook with 2 years of apple care left. Specs in profile. Its the latest 14 inch!
