not to knock PowerBooks, but it may be worth looking at a ThinkPad.  
I've got a real nice X31 that seems to have *most* of the features one 
would expect from a PowerBook at roughly the same cost.  That is unless 
you are doing some stuff specific to PPC devel, or you really love OSX 
(which is a really valid point IMO).  This way you can run oBSD on it, 
then run Win in vmware, or use wine for specific apps even.  dunno just 
throwing ideas out.
