I has got to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. I am quite happy with my powerbook G4. I does every thing and then some. The only limitation I see is backward compatability with things like floppies and rs232, both of which you can get a USB adapter for. It just simply rawks. If you do get one, make sure and get OS X and the X.1 update (mandatory). I have run SuSE ppc on mine. I have been trying to get DebianPPC and LinuxPPC and YDL, but the cd's do not want to boot proper (maybe cause they are burned?) Other than that I am very happy with my lappy. The wireless card is also a must have. I would stay away from the airport base station though, to many limitations. I use my airport card with a variety of base stations without problem. Mac hardware is the bomb.
