No. Its not. I have had my powerbook longer and it is still as fast as when I got it (faster actualy, but only because i stuck 1 gig of RAM). Just because I dont have the same experance as you doesnt mean I lied or am a Mac Cult member putting out propaganda.
I do not know why yours runs slower and you should look into it. Tried reparing disk permissions? How much Ram do you have? How many programs do you have running or start with? Also try clearing some redundant files, macs are usually clean after a disinstall but they leave the preference files behind. Check there for problems and files you could clear
Useful features that let you find files? But finding out what the combined size of two or more folders? That's not very useful to Mac cult members nor Steve Jobs, but it is to me. I had to download a finder plugin to find out what the size was. Absolutely appalling. Also, I found out I needed this plugin when I selected some 75+ folders and did a properties on them, only to find 75+ folder properties windows popup forcing me to restart my Powerbook.
Yeah, I dont like finder either. Hopefully 10.5 will overhaul it. But that doesnt take away the usefulness of Spotlight and Expose. Both features I miss when I use my Windows Machine.
Oh, that's alright then. Also titanium look good for about 30 mins out the box, when it needs cleaning.
It was just a add on, allmost a joke. PS Powerbooks, including yours unless it was secound hand. Have been made out of aluminum

I also resent the constant use of the word 'Mac cult'. I like my Mac, I think its better than Windows. I do use both. I came to this conclusion by myself and do not need the stuff I know i like to be called a lie, properganda and a member of a cult (which also suggests brainwashing). Same with other macs users, please stop putting them down just because you dont agree.
About the film editing. The main reason macs are seen as better for video and graphic is historical based on the fact macs were used for graphic work when they came out (due to the GUI). Now its still kind of true because of the way OSX handles graphics, sound and video. Final cut also works a lot better with OSX than Adobe works on Windows. Adobe is about 100% more annoying, not stable either even on massive spec machines.
