This writer is using a PowerBook G4 to blog. I’ve always liked the idea of a “minimal writing machine,” a computer set up for writing and not much else. When I’ve tried similar things in the past, I always end up frustrated that I’m using a computer without all my stuff on it.
In many ways, the iPad has taken over this roll for me. I can write without a lot of on-screen distractions, but the rest of my data is just a few taps away. Still, this experiment is tempting, and I do have many PowerBooks I could choose from.
