By the way, I've go a question about the TiBook. I've been hesitating for 8 months about buying a top-notch TiBook configuration for MacOSX, but the $6000 price tag, vs the $2500 at most it would cost to build an "equivalent" PC laptop with GNUstep/Linux or FreeBSD makes me wonder if it really is worth the cost. What do you think? (Even discounting the expected culture shock for someone coming from the NeXT GUI).
What are you looking to do? I picked up one of the 700MHz iBooks and am running OS X 10.5 and I have to say I the performance is not bad at all. For the $1000 price difference (not sure what options you're looking at to bring the total to $6000) the iBook is a great deal.
