I was not enthused when I first heard of the plans to go Intel, but the Powerbook needed somewhere to go. They couldn't just keep churning out G4s.
It's hard to believe so many knot-heads are tied to Windows software. anyway I'll probably go with a Macbook Pro, when my iMac G5 starts getting long in the tooth.
Now the only question remaining is which Powerbook G4 do I order as the last generation machine that will run my present software. 12"? Or 15".
