Hi Folks, I'm still a relative newbie to the mac platform though I've been a PC and Unix user since the days before PCs. I've got an old 4400 and some bits of iMacs that I swear one day I'll assemble into a working machine but I spend any "quality time" with a mac fiddling rather than using.
However, I'm seriously thinking about getting my wife a proper, working, 2nd hand laptop for Christmas and could use your advice. As you'll see from the above paragraph, budget is really tight, that's why I have bits of iMacs and not marvellous, fully functional iMacs. So here's the question, which way should I go? Powerbook or iBook? What model? I'd like it to run MacOsX though it doesn't need to scream (I've seen Pather running on a g3-350 iMac and that was fine). It should look cute - sorry but it's true, 2xdual core G5 won't wash if it's ugly - and be able to WiFi even if that means shoving in a PC-Card. Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks for your help.
