As suggested by a kind user I am posting this here since I guess it makes more sense…

to avoid annoying anyone with an extra mouse clic I am gonna to paste the text from the aforementioned post…
So I have to replace my trusty MDD for a laptop and my ideal choice would be the latest 15 incher PB incarnation, please don't call me names, I still can run a PPC machine… and I guess FreeHand MX -yeah, that one- would be more than happy running under a PPC environment, I want to think such PowerBook is far from being nearly useless today… and tomorrow.
I don't want a 17" even when I have that possibility, I have had a 17 PB and it was too big for my taste… in a nutshell, I am selling / trading the set-up below…
* Power Mac G4 MDD 1,25 GHz DDR, -those 2003 models who still boot OS9-
1,25 GB RAM (512+512+256)
HD: 80 + 80 + 160 (ST380011A - ST380011A - ST160021A)
one internal DVD-CDRW Apple Combo drive
one internal DVDRW SuperDrive 16x dual layer Pioneer DVR-710 (DVR-111D)
AlchemyTV DVR PCI rev. b PAL, SECAM & NTSC
ATI 9000 Pro 64 MB
Belkin USB2 PCI card -four ports-
Apple Pro Speakers
Apple mouse & keyboard
* Display to choice between Philips TFT or NEC CRT -both 17"-
* Wacom Intuos II A4 -never used still in box-
That's all… please note I am talking 'Europe' here, you could get a MacBook Pro here @ the Marketplace board for what they ask for a PB like that 15" over here… anybody surprise thought.
Honest feedback please, better safe than sorry.
I would appreciate that.
