My Mac Powerbook is not obsolete yet...

I've had it since 1999, and have always been a Mac user (though it's all WinDoze machines at work). It was the top of the line when I got it(first one with firewire, lots of RAM, etc.), and is still great; the new ibook has almost identical specs. Certainly all the academic and statistical software I use on it hasn't changed much, and it runs OS X fine.
So, if you want a computer that will not be obsolete in a few years for a variety of tasks, you will probably have to spring for a higher-line Powerbook. If you are planning to not do much more than word-processing and internet stuff, an iBook will do that fine for years to come as well.
Good luck!
Best,
Lutfisk
