  It's nice to see MacOS X growing stronger and stronger in the developer world.
  
  What model did you get?

    Would it be terribly bad of me to admit that I don't know :) That's why I said it was a "Powerbook G4 of some description". I think it's a 15" screen, but I'm sure things will become clearer once I've spent some time playing with it.

      If it's pdcawley's old laptop [perl.org], then it's a 500MHz G4 PowerBook [lowendmac.com], which means it has the old, lower res (1152x768 iirc) screen, and no DVI out, and probably only a DVD not combo drive.
      
      Mind you, I'm basing this on a couple of assumptions, which may turn out to be broken somewhere.

        It is, indeed, pdcawley's old machine and your description sounds pretty accurate from what I can see.

          Definitely accurate.

  Ooh, TT Book ... I didn't know that it was in the works. Looking forward to it!

    No kidding! I also didn't know about the book, but I'm pretty darned excited to hear about it. I'm curious to know if it's going to be affected by any of the upcoming TT V3 [template-toolkit.org] material.

      TT3 is still very much on the (far off) horizon -- Andy doesn't even have recent code to show us -- so we're not letting it influence the book at all. (I'm one of Dave's co-authors, thus the "we".)
