what to get, what to get
in the begging when i got accepted to O.C.A.D.
i planned on getting a 12" rev.D powerbook with superdrive. it seemed like a good buy. but as i learned from visiting an apple retailer the screen was a tad on the small side offcourse i shouldve known.
i have virtually 2000 bucks canadian at the end of the summer for a comp.
since the begging i have used a mac, my dad was a power user architect using macs since 85. i have also been a user. apple 2c, quadra, imac dv 400, imac dv 450 and now since i took a mechanical design course i am currently using a peace of garbage compaq "2.7ghz celeron, 256 mbr, etc GARBAGE "
so when i mentioned to my dad i was buying a powerbook he said cool but dont get the 12 its too small. he also said if i couldnt afford to play with the big kids he would help me out. i will be doing some graphic design and learning how to do webpage design. now i have a 3000 dollar canadian budget and i was wondering if u guys could help me choose a configuration. this is my first post because the webpage is a bit tricky.

i wont go near the imac because i dont like there one partedness, they suck.
