"Besides tht, I would seriously doubt that you can find MacSEs for that price."
I have 3 SEs that are in perfect condition that I will GIVE you I'll even put netBSD on a floppy for ya to install it with- Because they CAN run v 1.5.1 (is 2001-04-28 new enought for ya?)
Do you see an Athlon laptop? An Alpha laptop? A Sparc laptop? No. G4 is a workstation/server-oriented processor; it uses too much power and produces too much heat to be practical in a mobile device. If "portable" is extended to "any computer that can be moved from desk to desk very easily" which is often one of the main uses of laptops, would a Power Mac G4 Cube with an LCD qualify?

The G4 PowerBook comesout in January!
NO, not quite. The official position of Apple is that the newer versions are not "supported". I have a PowerMac 5500 603e/225 mhz (4 yrs old)running OS 9 just fine -and a PowerMac 8550 604/180 mhz (5 yrs old)running OS 9 & OS X _AND_ OS X server.
