Yup. Apple does a good job. I'm pretty happy with my new G4 tower. Been pretty happy with Macs for about 16 years now.

My 4th mac in the house is a G3 iBook. It's the heart of my field recording rig now. It also does Band in a Box real well. Does anything real well for that matter. Great computers those Mac's.

| Brad... what hardware are you using to get the audio i/o to/from the iBook in your field recording rig-and what software? |

There are issues with 10.3 (Panther)
See discussions on the Apple Support Board. |

10.3.2 was released yesterday.
It's working great for me. The display and fonts are much clearer.
Note: I have a G4 processor, Scott is asking about a G3. G3s are available at bargain prices, but be aware the issues some are having.
A G3 has plenty of power to run UNIX, b0b. |

I've been running OS X on my G3/400 (Lombard) since the original release. There have been various problems reported, but all seem to be addressed by 10.3.2.
This is my favorite OS. |
