Same here. It is such a great device that, rather than go with a current model, I purchased a replacement on eBay when my original was stolen back in January. (Be very careful with hotel selection in Punteranas, Costa Rica--my machine was stolen out of my backpack in my hotel room while I was out for the day. Thankfully, the idiots left the external HD, iSight, power supply, etc.)

That said, I still am waiting for Apple to get their act together and release a 12" MacBook Pro. I'd like to be able to run a variety of operating systems via Parallels. Interfacing with the corporate/industrial world unfortunately necessitates the use of Windows-only software. Virtual PC just doesn't cut it. Rumours suggest that one may be in the works but, for now, they seem to be just wishful thinking from other like-minded individuals.

PowerBook 15" 1.25 512. I too am anticipating a 12/13" MacBook Pro. I've had it since 2003 and it still runs like a champ, but I am on the road so often that I need something more portable. Maybe the iPhone will offer a decent, albeit basic, workspace.
