Making the switch?

For some years now, I've been thinking of switching from Windows to a Mac, problem is, the family has been unwilling to dive in the last several times I've had to buy a new machine. From what I've read here on the Mac's handling of GTD, I think I may finally have an excuse Here's primarily what I'm looking for: A powerbook or equivalent able to run OS X fairly if not very well. Must be able to network. Not new due to cost considerations, but not ancient. I figure anything within the last few years should adequately work.

Thanks!

Also, for getting an idea which machine you want (especially the code names as that's how they are usually listed on eBay) check out lowendmac.com

Also, check dealmac.com for deals on older machines as well.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
