I've been using my new PowerBook for the past week and I'm very happy so far.
Whic program works best with our own Chat Room? So far I've been just using Safari and it doesn't seem to want to work: I see the chat room load up but I can't actually interact.
Should I just use FireFox?

Use OS Tiger, and some Adobe software would rock too.

I've had my little 12" g4 ibook for about half a year and I absolutely love it. It comes with me everywhere I go pretty much and it's so friggin versatile. I use it for music, video, pictures, internet crap and some light gaming and it never gives me a problem. Since I jacked the ram to 1.24 gb, this little baby flies through pretty much whatever I need it to do. I also beat the hell out of this thing and the scratches hardly ever show thanks to this wonderful case. Hell I dropped it a few feet onto a hard tile floor the other nite and the computer stayed asleep and walked away with only a light scratch, no other ill effects. I'm still using 10.3 and am very happy with it. I'll wait a few more revisions before I consider moving to Tiger.
Software that I most commonly use:
Office X (I don't care what anyone says, I like it)
pretty much everything in the iLife series
Firefox/AOL
MacMAME (I have to keep a few different versions for all my romz to work)
Final Cut (in case I need to take some editing on the run)
Limewire (gotta download)
Toast (gotta burn cdz)
Macromedia Studio 2004 (I like to dabble in web dev sometimes)
