Not too long ago, I sold my iBook, right after the new MacBook was announced. I planned to buy that same MacBook somewhere this summer; however, I started to doubt. I had second thoughts. Let me explain why I decided to not buy a new Mac, but instead opt for a used G4 PowerMac. Note: After being absent for a week, here is another Sunday Eve Column.

Don't be silly. The Intel switch will only grow the market for Mac-centric developers, not shrink it!
Yes, I use Parallels to run Windows (sadly needed to cater for some of my clients) and Ubuntu Linux, but I still very much prefer to use native OS X applications. I wouldn't dream of using e.g. a word processor in Windows in a virtual machine.
Do yourself a favor and buy a new Intel Mac when you get tired of your G4 (or when it gets tired of you).
