So I did it. I'm now the proud owner of a Powerbook G4 of some description. More importantly I also have a copy of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, 2nd Edition so I can learn how to use it. And this coming weekend is three days long as there's a public holiday on Monday which would be a perfect time to acquaint myself with my new toy.
But that's not what's going to happen. Oh no. We are all under dire threats from gnat to get the Template Toolkit book finished by this time next week. So all Mac-ish thoughts will be banished this weekend as I get with the writin'. Honest!

Would it be terribly bad of me to admit that I don't know:) That's why I said it was a "Powerbook G4 of some description". I think it's a 15" screen, but I'm sure things will become clearer once I've spent some time playing with it. Re:Great

If it's pdcawley's old laptop, then it's a 500MHz G4 PowerBook, which means it has the old, lower res (1152x768 iirc) screen, and no DVI out, and probably only a DVD not combo drive.
Mind you, I'm basing this on a couple of assumptions, which may turn out to be broken somewhere.Re:Great

It is, indeed, pdcawley's old machine and your description sounds pretty accurate from what I can see.Re:Great

Definitely accurate.

No kidding! I also didn't know about the book, but I'm pretty darned excited to hear about it. I'm curious to know if it's going to be affected by any of the upcoming TT V3 material.

TT3 is still very much on the (far off) horizon -- Andy doesn't even have recent code to show us -- so we're not letting it influence the book at all. (I'm one of Dave's co-authors, thus the "we".)
