Standard built-in video? Standard output for a large monitor and mouse and Firewire? The latest G3 Powerbooks make the best Win machines look anemic. And prices are better performance-wise. And for graphics professionals, the 300 MHz Powerbooks are the ideal on-the-road machines. And those 14.1 TFT screens are gorgeous. For someone who wants one machine that does home and on the road, they can't beat. For Leica M types who eschew technology, none of this matters. :-) Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch When there's a will, I want to be in it.
