I am reterning my beloved iMac!

That is the one...

the only people i have talked to that prefer the older ppc powerbooks are professional graphic designers

but for internet, email, light gaming, spreadsheet, and word processing, the macbook pro will be a better deal dollar for dollar and have apps work with it nicely for the next three or four years which is ideal for a high school or college student

the ppc powerbook will see apps for it diminishing over the next 18 months and really only be an advantage for the graphic designers who want a mobile computer

adobe has told the press that they do not plan to make a mac/intel native version of their cs suite...but that could all change

Can we get some kind of age/maturity restrictions on this forum? I'm really sick of the 5 year olds around here.

I disagree. We will have universal binaries for years to come. Apple is still selling PPC Macs and will have to support them for at least the three years of an Applecare term so I think PPC Mac owners won't be disenfranchised for years to come.

Incorrect. They said they won't make universal version available until the next major release, probably sometime in 2007.

that is good to hear and i hope you are right...anyway, any mac, ppc or intel, is still so much better than the average pc

of my intel mac, ppc mac, and compaq pc, guess which two i boot up?

Were you saying that to me? I don't get it. I didn't say get an educational discount...I said he should get a refund on his education (yes, all 6 grades of it).

Nah, it was towards intelimac.
