Did you read the 867 Mhz 12" PB review in April MacWorld? They compared it with the 867 15", 1Gb 15", and 800 Mh iBook. The PB ran a little bit slower than than the 867 15", and that difference would be accounted for by the different cacheing arrangements. But what was most interesting was how much faster, on suitable tasks (Photoshop tasks, iMovie rendering, MP3 encoding) all the g4 were than the G3 iBook - 3 time quicker in the case of the Photoshop tasks. That's where the benefit of the G4 lies, not in day-to-day browsing/ emailing/ wp, etc. Tom Burke -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
