I guess I'm a switcher.

I've had my iBook for almost a year (running OSX, now 10.2), and just absolutely love it. For the web development I do (MySQL, PHP, Apache), it's just great.

Apple. I spent the extra $$ for a Titanium PowerBook G4 800MHz but you don't need to spend that much for stellar performance.

For about a grand you can get the iBook which runs OS X (a BSD-flavored UNIX), it comes with PHP and Apache already installed, and there is an easily installed binary package for OS X.

Apple notebooks are extremely well engineered. Don't compare apple MHz ratings to PC's; they are on a totally different scale. If you have an Apple store nearby, you're in luck. Go there on a saturday morning because they have free classes every saturday morning to show you how to get around in OS X.

Anyway I have had my Apple for a couple of months now and I am more than happy with it.

Forgive me for getting off topic but I am thinking of buying a new laptop. Which brands do you all trust? I don't have much to spend at all. I am leaning towards a compaq since they are offering an upgrade to xp pro for free (which I will need) and a free wireless card. I am looking for a decent machine to do php and mysql work on.

Thanks, Eddie
