wOOt! new job, working with Macs! one question though.....
as many of you know, i've been job hunting lately. a lot.
just quit my other job on Wed. at a telcom company to accept a sys. admin position at the U of MN. now i finally have a job where i get to work with Macs on a daily basis.
i also get to buy macs, which rules, but leads to me to a dillema.
what mac to i get for myself?
i'm hoping i can swing $3k for a personal computer purchase to match my new position, and i have my heart set on a powerbook, but is that really the best choice?
in my mind, i'm thinking it will be perfect for any network troubleshooting i might have to do, and recovery situations. however, i also know that i've been lusting after a g4 powerbook since they first came out, and could easily be deluding myself.
so i ask you, what would you recommend in this case? $3k to spend on any one machine of your choice, what do you choose and why?
thanks in advance.

edit: oh yeah, there are PC's here too which i take care of, so PC's aren't out of the question, but it would take a hell of a persuasive arguement to have me go down that road.
but if someone wants to try, i'm all ears.
