Well I can now say I own a Powerbook. I just added it to my mac collection 2 days ago. Now I am not a fan of the newer Macbooks, so I went old school!

Pismo Powerbook G3 400Mhz
576MB Ram
6GB HD (upgrading that soon)
DVD
Airport

I installed a fresh copy of Tiger on it and I really cant believe how damn fast it is, I was expecting a slow experience but it just amazes me how quick it really is. I have an iBook G4 1.33Ghz 12" here as well, but I always loved the Pismo and got a really good deal on it, and it will be the book I carry and abuse at work

Anyway, just wanted to post in the club

I decided until I get a larger HD installed into it I am going to run the nice clean liteweight OS 9 on it. I miss alot of the features of OS 9 as it is anyway. Man I really do love the way this Book looks! And the screen is so nice!
