I just got powerbook a few days ago, and Im sorta in a pickle. I have a $200 Best Buy gift certificate (actually more like 215) and I was wondering what to get with that 200 dollars to compliment my PB, AirPort card seems to be a must, so that leaves me with $100 bux. Do I get:
Apple keyboard and mouse
Extra battery
Extra power adapter
or use the $100 Best Buy bux to replace my 17" CRT at home with an 15" LCD.

Any other suggestions are welcomed, and Thanks for any responses.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)

Who reads sigs? They're a waste of time.

Asking us what to buy without telling us how you use it doesn't put us in a position to give good advice. Do you use the PB at more than one location? I use mine at the office and at home, so I have two power adaptors. Two batteries would be nice, but I'd have to make sure I charge them both at home. Without an external charger that takes some diligence. If you often work away from power, a second battery is much more helpful than a second power adaptor.

It's something only you can decide, based on how you use your Powerbook. For some people a pile of DVDs would get a lot more use than a second battery or power adaptor.

Where do you get a 15" LCD for $100?
