| I'm a road warrior-180 days/year on the road-PB G4 is it! 8:08 PM EST Tue Jan 23, 2001 | |
| Chris Cargen I already own a PowerBook WallStreet, Lombard and Pismo. I operate 9 hotels with 2 in construction and am on planes and staying in hotels every week. It is my own business. I do tons of wide spreadsheet financial analysis and budgets when I'm working and watch lots of DVD's when I'm relaxing. I actually gave my newer Pismo to my wife and retreated to my Lombard because of its superior hardware controlled DVD playback and whiter, brighter screen than the Pismo. The wide screen of the PowerBook G4 will help me scroll less on my wide spreadsheets and I expect the screen to present awesome DVD playback. The lower height of the G4 will actually IMPROVE usability in coach aircraft seats over the PB G3. Because my hotels are all Hilton franchisees, they operate on Windows based software. The G4 should greatly speed up Virtual PC 4.0. I carry lots of perpherials in a suitcase that I don't need on a plane (such as a Flix back-up hard drive and CDRW drive). As to the PowerBook Ti G4. I think Apple absolutely nailed it! I think this notebook will be a huge runaway success and attract a lot of corporate PC users. I can't wait to get mine. |
