    I had a Powerbook G4 Titanium, too... bought it in 2003, and have since given it to my sister, and it still works perfectly. I actually dropped it a couple times, so it's dinged up a bit, and there was an issue with the battery, but other than that it has held up well.

    It's a 867 mhz processor, though... so it's a bit slow, but it has Tiger on it, and that works great.

    Compare it to the 5 or so PCs I've had in the same time span, which needed to be upgraded and diagnosed several times, re-installing Windows, etc. Plus, I could never install XP on machines under 1ghz... we've got one PC that we're just going to give to Goodwill today... they don't hold their value.
