Well, it finally happened. I saw (and used) a Titanium PowerBook G4. I know you must think i live in a cave or something, but this is a largely PC community, and buyers of high end Macs are rare. However, this afternoon at the Shop one of the techs was setting up some iBooks and a Ti that just came in. I asked if i could unbox and have a look at the Ti. He said to go for it. I couldn't believe it. This the most beautiful laptop ever. A TiBook is DEFINATELY going to be my next new Mac...when i can afford one, that is. Heavy little sucker though. Its amazing what they can cram into a small space. And the screen is just fricken beautiful.I also got a chance to check out a brand new iPod 5 GB, too. This thing is TINY! Its about half the size i thought it would be! Gawd i was in for a surprise! The screen is nice, too, for a small text screen. What font is that, anyway? It sorta reminds me of Chicago. And i LOVE the glossy back panel, too. It sorta looks like glass or something, i dunno. Either way, both the TiBook and the iPod are absolutely fricken beautiful, and the only bad thing i can see about them both is that, well, i don't have one.  -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

It has more sex appeal than a freakin' pristine condition fully maxed out LC575!  (Yes, i know i have no life, saying things like this about a computer...)

I thought the Ipod was somewhere between a palm pilot and a newton MP2000 (in size, but in style, the Ipod wins) but when I saw one, and picked it up for the first time... WOW! then I played breakout while listening to bare naked ladies! muahahaha!
THnx

Damn...I'd really love to get a TiBook, too. I could actually afford a 500 or maybe even 667, but I wouldn't be able to run Shake...of course, sheer wow factor alove would soon drown out that minor discrepency.The SAF sorta prevents it, though. My wife hates laptops, namely the trackpad. But, I explained that I could attach a seperate keyboard, mouse or even monitor to it when at home! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator
