I would use my pismo more, but it needs more memory, and my needs are more intel architecture oriented. (I have to use Windows XP at work so I use virtualbox.) The Pismo just simply would not be able to keep up with me, like it did in 2006 when I got my first one. I used the heck out of that machine. Actually I only had 2 pismos, the second one was a parts machine! The first one is still hiding i hope at my friends computer shop with good memory and I cant find it!
Today, unfortunately I need more out of a computer than when I was in high school. All I was doing then was SSH, word processing web surfing and watching the occasional movie file and some youtube. Now I run a couple virtual machines while using photoshop and browsing with chrome.
But the Pismo still makes a great web surfer and note taker with its two batteries and airport!
The only laptop I loved ALMOST as much was my Dell Latitude C610 Those are also awesome machines, so versatile, so very easy to work on and parts are so easy to get! Not to mention durable and run great with two batteries! Not to mention that the PIII's in those machines are the newer models. They went up to 1.2GHz, mine was a 1GHz and it even ran Windows 7 Beta great!
