Yup. Apple does a good job. I'm pretty happy with my new G4 tower. Been pretty happy with Macs for about 16 years now.

I'm very happy with my new G4 Powerbook.

My 4th mac in the house is a G3 iBook. It's the heart of my field recording rig now. It also does Band in a Box real well. Does anything real well for that matter. Great computers those Mac's.

Brad... what hardware are you using to get the audio i/o to/from the iBook in your field recording rig-and what software?

Do these G3 iBooks run OSX?

There are issues with 10.3 (Panther)

See discussions on the Apple Support Board.

10.3.2 was released yesterday.
It's working great for me. The display and fonts are much clearer.

Note: I have a G4 processor, Scott is asking about a G3. G3s are available at bargain prices, but be aware the issues some are having.

A G3 has plenty of power to run UNIX, b0b.

I've been running OS X on my G3/400 (Lombard) since the original release. There have been various problems reported, but all seem to be addressed by 10.3.2.

This is my favorite OS.
