[QUOTE="ivoryandgold, post: 716444, member: 63148"] Frightening imagery! Kidding aside, I'd say go for something more current than the PowerBook. I agree with the other posters here -- if you're looking for a machine that will last you a good 4 years, it seems wisest to stick to a newer Intel machine, especially since future OS releases will likely be impossible to install on non-Intel Macs. As unfortunate as this is, the PowerBook seems to have hit max capacity as far as software upgrades go. As far as adjusting to the smaller screen size, my opinion may be a bit biased because I've spent the past few years on a 12" Windows machine, but I'd say it'll probably just take a little getting used to. And there's nothing wrong with using a larger monitor at home if you like. You could also buy a fairly nice set of external speakers to use at home without burning too much of a hole in your pocket...just an idea :) [/QUOTE]
