Hello All, I vote to keep the Pismo. I have one and it is great. I have upped the RAM and installed a bigger HD, I have Panther on the way. The future holds a G4 upgrade and a Burner. It is a great laptop. Jim. -- Jim Scolman Artist Photography Services Studio Quality Photography for Professional Artist and Crafts People [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.scolman.com
