The new black MacBook shuts down on its own in the middle of my work. The original G4 laptop is still blue-screening, and my dual CPU desktop G4 is blue-screening more frequently (on average once a day). I'm seriously thinking about shopping for a new computer, a Windows machine, fed up with the awful Mac hardware. In the meantime I'm using the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00017H7QW?v=glance">old Sony Vaio</a> as my mobile computer. The software isn't as nice as the Mac, and the screen is much harder on my old eyes, but, knock wood, it works and the Macs don't.
