I bought my iBook G4, 60 gig hard drive, with Mac OS X Panther last November. It’s heading towards one year now…
The main reason why;
I work in IT - Sick of the Windows Operating System, wanted to learn something totally new. Since using a friends of mine iBook for a weekend, i went out and bought one!
Microsoft Applications work the same, word, excel are the only two I use but they are fine. The ease of use with Mac OS X is amazing. I’ve installed Quicksilver as well.
Quicksilver + Mac OS X = Best Operating System ever!
I use iPhoto for my photos.
iCal for my planner.
Firefox for web.
Adium for chat.
It’s the best computer i’ve ever had!
