The first Intel Macs aren't as fast as the last PowerPC macs. Didn't people complain about the same thing back during the 68K->PPC switch? Did they fall apart because of transistion the first time?

I think they'll survive and things will improve. When they do and prices come down, I'd love a Mac laptop, especially if it can run all my OSes, Windows, Linux, and even Amihon? Still haven't got that last one running on my AMD64 laptop though so the fancy new stuff might prevent it. :/ I'd have loved an iBook G4 for OS4, but alas it isn't meant to be and I'm left pondering other platforms for convenient portability. :(

The iBook is indeed a nice laptop, best I've ever owned. IMHO running OS4 on it would be a waste.


In what way would it be a waste? I'd like a convenient and usable portable platform for when I'm not home and have nothing better to do than work on OS4 stuff. Hauling my AmigaOne, monitor, keyboard, etc. isn't suitable for on the plane or sitting around at the airport or on a bus or whatever...
