Very cool. Theyve come a long way from my g4 IMac. At very least a very good movie editing/watching platform.

Are you going to be using the optical audio out?

Damn that's a thin keyboard. Sweet machine. I need a few more happy memories with this G4 Powerbook before I venture into Intel chipped Apple computer land. It would be handy though because my computer already has a hell of a time running the Adobe CS3 products - which are my livelihood.

Looking good in more ways than one, but it is a Mac, and I am a strictly PC guy. Oh well, enjoy, nonetheless!
