Re:Multi boot on a TiBook. (Score 1)

That's what I got, too and it rocks. I never use os9 for anything, being a linux only user for years (since before rpm. Anyone remember Mother's Day?) But OSX seems nice, though I'm more comfy in linux.

Important: Warcraft 3 for mac will be released at the same time as the windows version. So you need not let that determine your hardware.

I got ydl 2.1 on it and I have learned to use OSX for a few things I never did in Linux, use itunes. If you have reservations about ppc, then you should find out exactly what software you think you can't use. (Mathematica? Oracle? I think you can use these in linux or OSX for example). I've found everything from Galeon to RealPlayer to work just fine in YDL. Ximian has a yellow dog channel in redcarpet, etc... If you need windows, you might be better off with something else, though.

The keyboard is nice, the screen is perfect---every pixel is live and it's so much brighter than my crt on my desk. Plus, a dvd/cdwriter, built in airport card, and a 100% titanium shell, and firewire make it simply the highest quality, most elegant hardware you can get.

Drawbacks: the bottom gets hot for a `lap'top, the audio track in vlc playing dvd's in linux is a bit off (software?, hardware?) making movies look dubbed, and I have trouble controlling the speaker volume (my solution: headphones with a volume conrol on the cord). Also, the keyboard has a great feel, but its layout will take a little adjustment. (function-command for alt, for example.)

A couple more nice thoughts about OSX. You have built in wireless network searching, hotswapping usb devices are instantly recognized, and dhcp knows when to restart.

Bottom line, I couldn't be happier and I'd make the same purchase today. The TIBook is the best computer I've ever owned by far.
