Thanks, Robert. You hit the nail on the head with regard to primary v. secondary machine. It also seems to me that even basic web browsing is demanding more and more computing power as RIAs become more the norm, YouTube pushes HD video, etc.
By way of follow-up, I was suckered in by the slightly lower price and the freebies at MacMall and sprung for a new lowend whiteBook with 9400M graphics ($928 after MiR, no tax v. $849 + $53 tax for a refurb from Apple).
Yes, I'll be filling in a crapload of MiR forms that will take me weeks to get back, but I think this is the best deal I could find at the moment. It will certainly be a substantial step up from her PB G4.
