But I've used mutt/exim/emacs/isync on this old Powerbook before without any trouble. Or maybe I'll use Mozilla Thunderbird instead. Sure, I may switch to using Safari as my browser and may give Apple's Mail.app another chance once I move to Panther.
VOODOOPAD VS MAC OS X
Now, looking at things from the point of view of an occasional Mac OS X (Jaguar) user (no, I haven't upgraded to Panther yet-sure me), it's pretty clear that I can fix everything on the second list without changing much on the first list. finding an RSS aggregator that doesn't suck (less of an issue now that I use bloglines).Of course, there's a list of things that are a pain in the ass on Linux that I've just been living with for no really good reason (other than the fact that I'm very, very comfortable on Linux): web browsing ( mozilla flavor of the week).instant messaging ( yahoo messenger and gaim).I realized that I only do a few things on my Linux notebook (my primary machine until recently) 99% of the time: But I recently tried to be completely honest with myself about my computing needs (that's not always easy!).

It now has 768MB RAM and an AirPort card. In the nearly 2 years since I wrote that reivew, I've upgraded it a bit. Using the funds from those sales and a bit of other cash, I'll be buying a new 15" Powerbook. In the very near future (after taxes are computed, reported, and paid) I'm putting one of my Thinkpads (the T21 running Linux) and my oldish G4 Apple Powerbook (15" 550MHz) up for sale.
