R.I.P. G4

The PowerPC G4 is now obsolete, with the introduction of the MacBook, which is replacing the iBook and remaining Powerbook model. Looks like a good machine - Intel Duo, 13" widescreen, digital audio i/o , native extended desktop. It does have shared graphics but that will be fine for many people, I'm sure. There is an option of getting a MacBook in black, but it seems that you pay quite a premium for this (the other extras with the black one hardly justify it). I'm glad I've got my black Pismo, and it seems to get on fine with the 12" PB so I think I'll be right for a while.
I was reading in some Mac material that Adobe have put out an update for Photoshop. In the current Mac climate where Adobe is under the hard glare over a MacIntel-ready Creative Suite, `update' can be a powerful rumour. No big deal though - just a regular update with a few bug fixes, it seems.
