My new powerbook has arrived! I have been tracking it all the way from Taiwan. It was originally scheduled to arrive yesterday, but didn't. I was crushed. I could see it was on the truck to be delivered this morning. A colleague stopped by to ask me a question about getting new software and it came out that his new Powerbook had just arrived. Ha! I figured that must mean that mine was there too! We headed down to the office together. As we walked, a sick feeling began to creep over me. What if I hadn't noticed that the shipment I had been tracking was actually a powerbook I'd requested for someone else -- like him. What if we were going down to pick up his powerbook and not mine. I shared this concern and we both began to sweat a little. We walked in the office door and there was only one powerbook on the table -- with his name on it. But then one of the office staff pointed out that mine was on her desk because she'd only just finished tracking down the PO and putting my name on the box. Whew!! What a relief!
So far everything works flawlessly. At first, I couldn't figure out how to get the ambient light sensor to turn on the back-lighting for the keyboard. I tried a couple of times without success. Then L came in and touched it. Then it worked. (This is a joke because lots of people think that I can fix technology problems through the "laying on of hands". But it's not true -- you need L for that. ) The backlighting is awesome! That's one thing that's going to be really useful.
I'm really excited that I've gotten 
Flashclick to work. I've tried it before and couldn't get it
to work, but this time it just installed. And now flash elements don't play unless I click on them!
I wage a constant war against having motion in web-pages I'm trying to browse. With Mozilla, I have it set to not animate animated gifs, but I've been frustrated that I've had to either uninstall flash (and have broken icons in pages) or put up with continuous motion on pages.
With Flashclick, it replaces the flash element with something you can click to load the flash element. That way, I can leave flash installed, but I don't have to put up with motion on pages.
It's remarkable how intolerant I've become of motion on pages. For a couple years, I noticed the really egregious pages, but now that I've reduced my exposure, I notice it a lot more and am amazed by how bad it's gotten overall.
