Got one of the older G4 powerbooks, and after 1 year.... I will never, ever go back!

Love how they just work.

Enjoy it pal, I toyed with getting one recently. Ended up going with the Dell laptop, actually Andie surprised me with one for fathers day.

I have a 15" MacBook Pro, and a 20" iMac. I also own the wireless Mighty Mouse and absolutely love it.
Try this for a driver for the Mighty Mouse (http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/) I believe that you can squeeze the mouse and have it go backward.

Oh, and I have a 12" iBook G3 500mhz machine. I have used Macs since the first one. I switched to Windows for a while, and quickly went back to the Mac.

Yeah I'm thinking of converting and going over to Mac next time around..

Have a great time at the Waters gig!

I missed his gig in Hyde Park this summer although I did get to see David Gilmour at the Royal Albert Hall this past May and I was up the front at Live 8 last year to see Pink Floyd with Roger. What an experience that was!!

You lucky SOB!
I was born a few years too late and in the wrong continent, but I'm still hoping I get to see them one day. Then again, I've got a whole list of bands I want to see that no-longer exists

funilly enough where i used to live(my mums house) was near a garage owned by gilmore(?one of the floyd boys anyway) who was an old car enthusiast, every saturday we used to kick our football over the wall-not thinking about the damage we could have done to the vintage motors.... just so he would let us look round when we got our ball back!
saw some great cars though!- i think he knew what we were doing after the 3rd or 4th consecutive saturday

I was about to buy my MacBook Pro and opted for a GPS instead. Sigh, maybe next time. Christmas is coming!

17' PowerBook here.
I switched 4 years ago, and if my company laptop would not be a PC, I would never touch another microsoft thing again!
