This Saturday I will be going to collect my 12″ Powerbook that I recently bought on Ebay.

I’ve been hankering after one of these for literally years, and as I need a small machine with wireless for travelling the 12″ seems the obvious choice.

This is going to be a bit of a test for me to see if I like using OSX long-term. I find switching between Linux and Windows no problem, so switching between 3 operating systems shouldn’t be any different. If I really like it then I’m sure I’ll be laying down the cash for an Intel Powerbook once they have arrived and proved themselves. A triple boot (Linux/OSX/Win) machine sounds irresistable to me.

Congrats on your recent Apple purchase. It’s times like this that make me proud to be a faithful Apple user.

Thanks Jorge; I am enjoying my powerbook now that I have sussed out that “alt+3 = #” and “fn+backspace = delete!”

I hope that the new Intel PowerBooks will have a right mouse button!

Standalone mac battery charger|(0)

Got a spare mac battery? I’ve often wondered why up until now no-one’s produced a standalone charger so that you can charge batteries without having to plug them into the mac. Fortunately Fastmac.com have produced a standalone charger that allows you to do just that. and it’s compatible with iBooks, Powerbooks, macbooks and Macbook Pros. It’s also 110/200v. Exactly what I was looking for!
