i still think you should just buy this 12" powerbook now!!! don't wait. it probably will get a Ghz in the next rev but this isn't worth the wait. if you decide to wait just to get 133 Mhz you can't buy at any time...

go and get it now it's a very very good thing
Flying out this evening, but the order goes in on Monday, maxed 12"powerbook, powermate from griffin , JBL creature, canon lide50, and new ipod ( when they are released ;-) oh ! and a wireless mouse of some description....
... now for the software!! ?? any recommendations??
not really a gamer myself...so i can't help you there...my kids love the sims and sloperider and all that...but they mostly do homework and IM on their iMac....
get an aiport card and basestation...wireless is the best thing to happen to computers since the crt....
that's about it for the sites i visit everyday....
have fun with your PB 12---it will come with graphic converter...great little app for opening and saving photos of all types...minimal adjustment, but great as a photoshop extra lite and a needed app on all machines...
versiontracker will help you find apps you need and demos you may want to try....

ps...diskwarrior is coming out with a disk repair program that is os x native i think this month...there are few problems with os x, but i will be grabbing this just cuz....
Ah yes mine came with GraphicConverter 4.5.2. How do I upgrade to version 4.6?
I'd say wait a few weeks until they upgrade the NCRAPIA drivers because if you look at my thread you'll notice ALL (not just mine, also the store's and more) PBG4 12"s have some graphics driver issues. Wait a few weeks though, it's a SWEET machine. SO small. The keyboard is perfect. It's the best Mac I've ever seen. Oh yea, besides my Color Classic sitting in my room back home.
