For myself it was a few things: 1) At the time I began lusting after a PowerBook, the PB Firewire was what was on Apple's store's site, and I had put the 400 MHz model in the 'save for later' list, not figuring I'd be able to get one (unless I won the lottery, etc.). 2) I like the shape/form (I have an undergrad major in art ed.) - not boxy looking (which to me the current TiBooks are - just my opinion). For me, the PB FireWire (and the Bronze just before it) has (have) cool shape(s). 3) I like the black rather than silver color. I generally like neutral colors like beige and black (they go well with any other colors, pretty much - again, the art background). 4) I like the larger screen of the PB Firewire, and I used to have on my first Mac (a IIcx) a monster of a 21 inch Sigma monitor which also was 1024 X 768 (in fact, if you live near Cape Girardeau, MO, I'll make you a VERY good deal on it - shipping rules out shipping anywhere else). 5) The many output options on the back (including sound in/out, video and S-video out), plus the speed of the 10/100 Ethernet and the FireWire ports. My two cents worth (might even be more, now that I look at all the above), Jim Rohde There's 3 Types of Computers in The World: 1. Computers that are large and hard to use. 2.
