Question Need new laptop: PC vs Mac

I need a new laptop (have a 4 year old Dell running Windows 98 which is stretching these days) and am very interested in a 12" Powerbook G4. Used to be a dedicated Mac user, but changed to PC's 8 years ago (got married to a PC geek who knew nothing about Mac's, seemed reasonable at the time althought I have never really liked Windows). My question now is this: I use this primarilyfor business. Need to hook into hotel high speed connections, give PowerPoint presentations on random LCD projectors that are provided (yes, I have one, but I don't fly with it) etc. When I used Mac's before there was a lot that was not Mac compatible. Have things changed enought that I can be on the road with a Mac and not worry about being compatible? Is there any reason (I hope not!) I should not get the Powerbook??
