Well, I'm majoring in Psychology so it's nothing too technology intensive, I would probably just use word processing and maybe Powerpoint if I get the laptop but if I get a desktop then it would just be easier to rent out a Powerbook with Powerpoint on it. I think that iCal would help me immensely because I am not the greatest at keeping appointments straight. Also Konfabulator interests me a great deal and I don't think there is anything quite as elegant as it for Windows. I'm not up on Apples much since my last one was an Apple IIGS so I was also wondering if a 1Ghz processor and 256mb of ram would run OS X well or not because that's getting into the slow category for PCs and I don't know how much of a difference the fact that a Mac is based on entirely different architecture than a PC makes.
