So I am thinking of getting an Apple PowerBook G4 but am not sure which size to get and what the minimum requirements are for doing graphic design work...running Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, Dreamweaver, IE, all at the same time. How much memory should I get? Would 512 be adequate for now? Should I get the Combodrive or the Superdrive? Agghhh! So many desicions. I think I'm going to run to the nearst Apple store and find out.

Should I get the AppleCare protection plan?

Are there any cool bags for the 15" PowerBook?

Also, I would like to get a Wacom tablet and possibly also an ipod. I could probably hold off on the ipod.

Anyone with any suggestions or advice?
