I use my Pismo daily and my Duo's a bit less frequently, and have been toying with the idea of purchasing a TiBook for it's large screen and speed increase. Each time I get to the point where I want to do the upgrade, I see something like this and change my mind.
I use my Pismo's (Duo's and 2400c's won't do what I need business wise anymore) daily for presentations for clients and could use the large screen of the Ti, but I cant use a computer that looks like I purchased it from GoodWill in front of clients. My Pismo's get a bit tacky looking after a bit, but just a few minutes with some "klear screeen on the LCD and case and it looks as good as new, if not better. I will not purchase a computer that needs "TOUCH UP PAINT" from regular use! I expect that I will look more closely into the upgrade for the Pismo instead and wait until Apple decides to make a new PowerBook that not only functions well, but is presentable in a business setting for clients. Considering how "Arrogant the Apple Higher Up's are", Heaven knows when that will be!
