Here's my dilemma. I had my mind pretty much set on getting a regular laptop, while seeing a powerbook as something that would be cool to have, but after the initial "wow-this-is-cool" factor of about a week, I would be wanting a regular laptop. However, I have now found out that I can get a powerbook for 40% off(through friends that work at the store). So now I am considering getting a powerbook again. I would be using it for writing papers, browsing the internet, and other stuff I find useful. I would probably NOT be using it for movie editing, making graphics, and other stuff that macs are known to be "better" for. With that being said, here are my questions:
- Is there a good newsgroup program for macs? How about FTP? I'm asking because I would be using the superdrive alot if they did. How about programs that burn disc images?
-How is the linkability between PCs and macs? Would I be able to transfer stuff easily(text files, mp3s, movies, etc)?
-I know game compatibility is an issue with macs. Besides warcraft 3, are there any other good games that are compatible with macs?
-Do they freeze/crash more or less often than PCs?
-Are there any other cool facts that make macs stand out from PCs than what most already know?
Also, I currently own a 30 gig ipod formatted for windows. Is there anyway I could format it back to use with the powerbook?
