Well, they're certainly stable there's no doubt about that and I
think they're good value for money too.
According to the australian Apple Store, the apple G4 Ibook (the
machine i'm currently using), is $1,000.00 new. Yes, this machine
uses the old Power PC chips but it hasn't missed a beat since I got
it 4 weeks ago and its just amazing how fast the machine is at...
well... pretty much everything I've thrown at it including recording
audio, encoding audio etc so if I'm getting this out of a notebook
and I can't get the software for it in 3 years time then I would
consider myself very well served. I am however striving to get a new
Intel Mac by the end of the year, I'll see how I go.

Nope. It will only run the Tiger hacks. Apple includes something in

the Mac
hardware are written to go hand in hand, and that's why the Macs
are such
stable machines. Spring for the real thing, and you will be happy.
