My friend chris just got me turned over to macs...I have my first mac(this post is coming to you from..)...its a powerbook g4 17"...i love it. I got a great deal on it. In the house i still have my pc i biult a few months ago, and a secondary pc randomly placed inthe living room for internet/file backup/music downloads on...mainly guests in my apartment use them for internet though. The apartment is all tied to gether wirelessly. If anyones really that intrigued by this, i'll take some pics, but otherwise no real need.

woohoo another 17" pb user. im telling ya, such a great feeling sitting down in the library at school while everyone has a dinky small laptop and i unload my monster. money speaking, its impractical but w/e i got it as a gift
I love myset up. Yes the HiFi are hooked up to my Mini and used as speakers, and they work great. Having it on the shelf is great because it fills my room nicely and doesn't bother my neighbors with the hard bass sound that my old JBL creatures on the floor had. I use to have a PB, but since I was at my desk 99% of the time.. this was the setup to go with.
well, i spose i'll get some pics for you when i get a chance later today if i can...I very much enjoy my 17" pb...its good times...i have the apple wireless keyboard and mouse, and a keystation 49e for when im feelin inspired too, lol

That is nice, when I was 14 a computer at all was a luxury. Of course then I began working and eventually had a PC desktop...meh..but yeah, now I enjoy my PB.
I purchased iLife 06' (upgraded from 05) and I keep getting problems. I am thinking of just wiping out the hard drive on my PB and reinstalling OS X Tiger and seeing what will happen when I put iLife 06. Sometimes it just randomly quits on me without warnings, just quits (iDVDand iMovie in particular). Oh well, sorry for getting out of topic there, just frustrating.
You should have gotten a wireless keyboard for all your Macs, that is unless you use them both at the same time often...?
I have one, and can use it, but I love my mighty mouse and the cable is too short.Cerebrum said:

I got it for $300 and it's now about $200.
To save some desk space you should look into using Synergy. It will allow you to use one keyboard and one mouse for both your iMac and iBook.lilstewart said:iBook 1.42GHz/80GB/1.5GB 14"

We are the same age, have the same type of Computers and both paid for them all by our selves
I have to say the iBook/iMac combo is very nice!
And they run on PPC chips
i just hope i still have this kind of luck (and wealth) in 10 or so years...i definitely consider myself lucky right now, but who knows what the future might hold...
Thats mine, taken off of my LG VX8100 (memory card just showed up. Nothing fancy, just my table and iMac.
