Apple upped the specs slightly on Powerbooks. I hope the Powerbook gets a big upgrade before June, thats when I am going to buy one.

i bought mine a year ago, and this annoys me. It annoys me more that the new model is actually cheaper than the old one too. Ah well, cant stay ahead of the game for long in the world of computers.

This is where this whole mac pc argument seems stupid to me. With a pc, when you require a new component, you spend between 100-400 for the new component. With Macs, you spend 1000-4000 for a new mac.

you can upgrade laptops, your upgrading is just limited. I can get up to 1Gb additional RAM

There is this store in new york called the mac store. It has a cafe in it called the genius cafe. Apperently that is where people go to learn how to log onto the internet and how to check their email.
Their is a simple trick to making pc's work as well as mac's. It involves about $70 in lights and colored fans, and a glass case.

would that make PC's crash less often and improve the OS so it isn't a generation behind the one on macs?
;)

Exactly. Fuc windows. Linux sounds ideal, especially the non corporateness, but I just don't have the nerd skills/patience.. and lack of software looks to be an issue also.
I really just want a computer that works and enables me to spend the time doing the things i want to do, and my ageing G4 still does that rather nicely, thanks. My Mac gives me no grief whatsoever. The PCs I use are junk in comparison.. a constant hassle. Apple make pretty much everything, so the whole system is as smooth as and works better than a PC ever could.
I just wish Soulseek was a bit easier for OS X, that's my only gripe..

I have had my pc for 7 months now and not one crash. Not like I am not pushing it.

Now is a great time to by a new PowerBook, PB G5 may arrive in june or september - but I wouldn´t like to own a "first-version" PB G5, usually PowerBooks are better after a few adjustments (revisions). PB G4 series is now optimized... (PB G4 17" got digital audio I/O)

It's the most laughably small upgrade on the previous model. But better to buy a stable version rather than feel the discomfort of being an early adopter for a dual g4/g5 powerbook. it took then more than a year to get the 15inch powerbook stable with display issues and they still have a few niggles [graphics card noise, lid warping]. On the other hand powerbooks really do shit on any pc laptop. if you compare features pc's are actually more expensive. look at sony vaio. and OSX is really nice, i wouldn't say crash prove tho. I've managed it.
