Hi,

I've allways liked the design of the apple computers - but hated the OS. Now since the OS X was introduced i have been tempted a couple of times to buy one of the gorgeus powerbooks.. I've been a pc (win+linux) user for nearly two decades - and even though my current Ibm T40 suits me just fine - i want to try an apple powerbook.

The last couple of year i've using my groupwise mail client and word, excel, powerpoint, visio, photoshop, nearly 99% of the time that i spend infront of the computer.

Groupwise 6.5 client comes in a mac version. Word comes in a mac version (which i gather is more or less file compatible?! with Windows word XP) so that should be no problem. I'm connected to a Novell network, using iFolder (web based fileservices) and ndps printers (also mac compatible) - for the rest i could settle for virtual pc (does it have full usb support for my karma?)

What are the pros and cons of switching to a powerbook - is there any major drawbacks ??

I'm really tempted!
