Hope this isn't too OT, but was wondering how many of you had a 12" PowerBook before getting your MacBook. I'm getting my MacBook tonight and I'm going to sell my PowerBook on craigslist. Was wondering if you've been satisfied with your MacBook's performance.

Well I had a 12" iBook 800mhz prior to my macbook and im 110% satisfied. 1024x786 is just not enough screen. Since you have a 20" ACD, you'd be good with the macbooks 1280x800 screen. I have a Quad G5 at work and the macbook seems just as fast in most things and I'm sure that it will kick the G4 1.5 processors ass.

Here's another blast from the past - PowerBook 540C (C is for color!) next to my current 12" G4.
My Pismo unfortunately didn't do well after one year. First the CD/DVD player died, than the power management stopped charging batteries. It's been replaced with a 12" G4 with which I'm exteremely happy but kind of worried that there's no small MacBook Pro to look forward to

The MacBook is faster, no doubt. But not a ton. If you put them side by side, you will see a difference, but when I go back to my 12in PB (my wife's now) I realize how fast it really is (has plenty of RAM). This is of course doing things like web surfing, email, etc. Video encoding, is totally different though. My MacBook blows away the PB and I do that enough that it is a welcome increase.
I like the MacBook – the screen is a big plus – but the keyboard (IMHO) is better on the Powerbook and Word starts faster on the PB. I'm not saying the upgrade isn't worth it. I'm just saying that I wasn't blown away.

That's a great desktop picture - where did you get it from? I'm (fingers crossed) taking delivery of a 12" PowerBook tomorrow, and that desktop is exactly what I want!!

but which is which?? 
i had the 2400c, my first mac. loved it. 10.4" screen. no one could believe what it could do, and how small it was.
the 12" pb is my fave, and i also hope (someday) to see an equivalent mpb...

I've got a new setup for my macbook.
I'd love to find some kind of stand to set it up vertically on the right side of the monitor, but I haven't been able to find anything yet.
