I just upgraded my main work Mac from a 667Mhz G4 PowerBook to a 2Ghz MacBook Pro. I find it to be three to four times as responsive in UI behaviours like scrolling, cutting and pasting, window switching, etc. This alone will make me far more productive on an ongoing basis as I have already caught up to the new machine. Processor-intensive applications are just off the chart comparativelty speaking. The cumulative time savings will be enormous, since I am working on my Mac sometimes up to 18hrs/day.

If you are holding off on upgrading to a new Mac, don’t. Do it now and it will pay dividends immediately.

I have taken the extreme step of refusing to install any Microcruft apps at all. I’ll have to learn Pages, which looks familiar, and things are going well so far with the switch to Mail, Address Book and iCal. Good riddance. Now, c’mon Adobe, how about some Universal Binaries?
