Um, well, curiously, why would anyone run an old 'Book as their main Mac? This past summer I broke out my 5300c (is that "old" enough?) and used it for about three weeks as my main Mac when the monitor on my G3 Beige died (took that long to get another monitor), but other than that, for me, a unless you ARE rich and can afford to buy one of those G4 iBooks, a Powerbook is something to use OUTSIDE or while TRAVELING, not at home as my main machine. Now I'm presently out my Beige again for awhile (this time due to an attempted processor upgrade which botched miserably), so I'm back on an old system, but this time I was able to use my 7200/120 as the temporary replacement since I don't have monitor problems. So why did I pick the 7200 over the 'Book? Because I figured the 120 MHz processor in the 7200 would give me slightly less severe headaches than the 100 MHz processor in the 5300. It's a big bad jump back, but until I get my Beige back, I gotta live with it. Eeesh. No G4s here of ANY kind, and given MY finances, not likely.
