> The line I have to hook up to is slower than my "mac" phone line and the mac is slower on line anyway
Dial up, Sam?
If so, you've got no business bad-mouthing the Mac's speed.
FWIW, I'm aware Windows is supposed to be faster for surfing, but there are so many annoyances that come into play that have nothing to do with page-loading speed, that you don't actually accomplish anything extra (or, you accomplish the same nothing in the same amount of wasted time).

Sorta~
My ibook 1.2Ghz G4 lives besides my bed for surfing in bed while watching TV or whatever. Having appartment mates means that my room is my main hangout. My ibook does accompany me downstairts to the couch though too.
On my desk I have a Dual 450 Mhz G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) and a custom built PC with some flavor of Athalon in it at the moment (2.2Ghz maybe, i can't remember). The PC is used for downloads, encoding of videos and whatever school work I have that isn't Mac friendly. (I'm a Network admin major)

2nd gen (366) had the same cosmetics, 3rd gen (firewire, dvd) has the shiny opaque white plastics.
i have a 366 graphite and use it for couch surfing and as a roadie. last week i took it to a friend's house and was able to pull in a signal from a neighboring house, something my powerbook could never do.
