After making the big switch from PC to Mac about 3 months ago I would have to say go with the iBook or pBook. The Tiger OS is very easy to learn and the reliability can't be beat. I have had my Mac on for about 2 months and have not had one freeze or software failure during the entire time, and that's with video and graphic editing. If you have a Mac store near your house just check it out. CompUsa does have a Mac area in all their stores.
