Even with Linux, the choice isn't so hard, with a growing amount of software supporting Altivec. In particular, watching DVDs is certainly much more of a pleasure on a TiBook now than it will probably ever be on a G3 Notebook. Also, in contrast to e.g. the sound problems with an iBook2, pretty much all of the TiBook's hardware is well supported. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
