Take a look at this thread at a PC-forum. Amazing how many nice words is said about the PowerBook G4's and Mac OS X.

It was nice reading a rational and balanced discussion in a mixed Mac/PC thread.

A copy of that thread should be sent to every Apple doom and gloom sayer.

Mabey Apple is slowly winning them over.  I liked this post from the thread Petra posted.

I've been a PC user for the last 12 years.
I bought my first mac, a powerbook 15", two weeks ago. It is by far the most elegant and surprising piece of technology that I've ever owned.
I considered a high end laptop from Alienware, Dell, IBM, and Sony in the same price range, but the Apple seemed to have them all beat in all counts.
Granted, it's maybe a tad bit slower than the PC counterparts, and I do have to get used to a new OS and new shortcut keys, but in all honesty I have absolutely no regrets about purchasing this laptop (posting from it right now).
Once you get the hang of OSX you'll realize why people groove on it so much and you'll start to loathe the Windows platform.
Also, if you have any Windows apps that you MUST HAVE, there's always Virtual PC which works surprisingly well.

Lorraine , this is the first time I've noticed your avatar animated.

 I think you need a vacation.
