I've had my ibook for 2 years and it is still going strong. I got a illegal version of photoshop, so I really had no problems there. And you can find software to do most things for free or very little. Plus, Macs come with lots of software for which you'd have to buy the counterpart if you got a PC. If your external hard drive is like a lacey disk, I think you should have no problems transfering stuff over. PC software won't work on the ibook, however.
