With a little luck, I should be the proud owner of a 12" PowerBook G4 in two weeks. This leaves me with a bit of a quandry.
I currently have a Pismo (500mhz/1gb/40gb) which I use for light duty couch surfing, etc. under Tiger. I also have a Lombard (333mhz/512mb/40gb) which I run as a dedicated Mac OS 9 system for classic games/apps. I'm thinking, though, that it is time to sell/trade/whatever one of them since the 12" will take over the couch surfing and other duties of the Pismo. I figure I have two main choices:
- Keep the Pismo as a dedicated Mac OS 9 machine and dump the Lombard
- Dump the Pismo and keep the Lombard in its current role
It seems like there are advantages and disadvantages to either approach. One one hand, the Pismo has better graphics and is still sought after (particularly the 500mhz CPU). On the other hand, the Lombard has built-in SCSI but, based on what I've seen here, is even hard to give away these days. Either way, I'd keep the better battery and the better optical drive.
So, what advice do the collective brains here have about my quandry?
Thanks...
