Actually, I'm 13, & I'm going to use my PowerBook for video editing (iMovie, not any Final Cut stuff), and since I shoot in DV widescreen, I thougt it would be great to get a large widescreen display. I might watch DVD's on it (all my DVD's are Widescreen.) It's also a toy. LOL. Hope I cleared that up.

Here is my 3-day old 15-inch PowerBook. I used the Apple website to give you an idea of the pixel density. I must say it is very nice, it is like having a 17" PowerBook in a 15" case. The screen is very crisp and slightly brighter than previous generations, in my opinion.

That makes me want (or need) one even more!

It's a RadTech NeoCase

it's the only one i could find that specifically mentioned it was water-resistant... I'd hate to see my powerbook ruined if I get caught out in the rain.

Here is my current setup. I just moved into a new house and this was setup in a rush. When I get more settled I'll think it out a little better. I have a 17" PowerBook G4 1.33 2GB/80.

I used a Nikon D70 Digital SLR with a 28-70mm f/2.8 lens. But I didn't bother to mess with the white balance.

Sad story (must be mentioned) this computer is now dead. Only 4 days old, something is wrong with the power management on the logic board, it doesn't run off of battery. It is being returned to Apple. Hopefully my replacement will come within a week.

A very messy shot (moving in January so will redo the setup then. Added a 19" monitor that I use with the Mac mini (behind the monitor with a few external drives). the PB sits on an iCurve turned around so I can use it and the mini at the same time.

When the missus uses the mini, I move to the couch or use an XT-Stand on the dining room table with an external keyboard and my Logitech Trackman for Wowing.
