Apple Powerbook G4    [ Software ]

Got to play with a Mac Powerbook G4 for work, it's a sexy mac.   First time I've really futzed around with OS X at all, it's pretty nifty.   Like FreeBSD, it's stable and has all the Unix-style userland, administration and networking tools you'd expect, plus more (having 'sudo' installed out of the box is nice!).   Only complaint I have with the 15" model is that it's way too easy for me to hit the touchpad accidentally while I'm typing, which generally causes a few moments of confusion when I'm in a terminal window.
