Decision

I'm notorious for taking a long time to make a decision. I totally understand why Steve Jobs wears the same thing to work every day. I waste considerable time in my closet in the morning optimizing my clothing for the day. I had really been wanting to get a laptop, but that certainly wasn't an iMac. However, since I'd become hard-over on a G5 iMac, that meant that was going to be an uncertain wait. I thought about getting a PC laptop, but like when I thought about upgrading the PC desktop, I just couldn't bear thinking about spending money on something that was going to run Windows. Once the recent updates to the eMac and iBook came along with the improved G4 chips, it made it much easier to decide on getting an iBook now to make the wait for a G5 iMac bearable. I thought some more about the G5 iMac as a non-upgradable all-in-one, and realized that not only is OS X itself getting faster with each release, but as more G5 optimized and 64-bit software appears, that G5 iMac (and other G5 Macs) will seem to get even faster, giving them a much longer useful life, which is a good thing for an all-in-one machine.
