All that said, if I buy a Al/PB-12, I really would rather come here than anywhere else to acquire the knowledge and wisdom of guys like Sidney Ho, Chuck Goolsbee,<snip>
Ralph, I'm flattered. =)
That said though... both Sidney & I have been rather absent of late. I can't speak for Sidney, but I only hang around out of habit. My 2 2400c's have been sitting idle (gasp!) for several months, and I haven't touched a Duo in years. I've considered unsubscribing because I'm not really contributing much anymore.
As for the new 12" model:
When I first saw the 12" G4 in the keynote I was *very* tempted. But once I held one in my hands the lust evaporated. My TiBook, as gigantic as it is, has all the features I need and the 12" G4 is missing (notably a PC Card slot). The new 12" G4 is basically an iBook in a new skin with a G4 cpu. That is not enough to get me to buy one.
*If* Apple ever adds the backlit keyboard, I wil seriously consider it. =)
I *had* to move to a OS X capable laptop almost a year ago, and the TiBook was really the only choice.
