Two PPC Macs; I'd really love it if my I woke up and found my iMac had suddenly become an Intel Core Duo, though. :p But I like my PPC iBook over the MacBook, thank ya very much.

Old school rules. You intel lovers will all come scrambling back to ppc after the next generation of five year olds finds a way to infect the intel chips!

I am in the process of selling an iBook G4 12" 1.33GHz and my white MacBook 2GHz Core Duo 80GB HD should arrive Tuesday morning. :)

Lucky! I wanted to buy the baseline MB just to say that I had gone Intel. But instead, I'm with iGary, I'm not giving up my PPC machine until college in '08.

PPC REPRESENT! :cool:

Wow I got plenty of replies to this poll! I usually screw up my polls by not adding enough options or it's a pretty pointless poll.

I pretty much did this to see how many people have/have not switched over to Intel and I'm just waiting until the time is right.

Deliberately bought the iMac G5 with iSight to make sure I got a PPC machine. Also got a 12" PowerBook, which will only be replaced when it dies on me, but then with a 15 inch MBP.

I have a PPC Powerbook 15" and its what is moving my hand to the buy MacPro button in about a week or so. Hurray! Lets see if after a week I am still using the powerbook unless I really really need it.

2 Intels, 1 PPC. Actually, I also have 2 68xxx machines, but they are seldom used. And I have a plan to get the rev b Macbook Pro, or whatever. I can't get rid of the PPC iMac unless I find a solid way to run OS9 on an Intel box, kid's games.

My first machine was PPC (a Mac Mini, which I bought for my sister) - then I bought the iBook G4 - but for college, I picked up a Macbook Pro, and the difference in speed is STUNNING.

The only thing I don't like is Office - I'll be picking up the universal version when it debuts, for sure.

I have a titanium powerbook coming in and I'm using an ibook g4 right now. As soon as the next macbook comes out I'm there, but for now these ppc g4 chips are treating me perfectly
