BBEdit! BBEdit rocks - I use it every day.

A good friend of mine is dating the CEO of BBEdit's parent company.. hehe, she gets all sorts of cool swag...

That said, the ibooks are likely fine for what you're looking for. I have an older PowerBook G4 that I bought in 2003 - 2 years old and it still kicks the tail of just about anything out there - just be sure that you drop in more RAM like Cleo says...

The problem I have is I dont want to replace my entire wireless network in my house, and I travel to different family members homes all the time as well who also have the linksys equipment.

Will the apple cards work with the existing wireless network setups I have? I don't want to replace and with my family having them, it would serve me no purpose to have a laptop if I cannot use the wireless.

So if I get the apple internal cards do those work with the linksys style routers?

Yes - they will work with any WiFi equipment. I have a LinkSys router and a Orinoco router in my house (need two due to layout - wacky setup) - it roams between the two of them without any problem...

I have an Airport Extreme in my office
