Personally, at this point I'd be far more interested in getting a Macbook or Macbook Pro than a powerbook G4. My thought exactly and I'd even made plans to visit the Apple store this weekend for one or the other. Long story short, I use a laptop computer as a living room reference - it lives on the arm of the couch - currently the job is handled by the G3 iBook. Since the room is somewhat dark, I wanted the backlit KB which meant buying a MBP. When I saw this computer, I figured I'd be $1500.00 ahead and have as much functionality as I needed, so I went for it. Whether it was a smart move is yet to be determined. So far the odds seem about 50-50. BTW, I have a 2.66 Mac Pro as my main axe.
