Do we still call it a Tibook? Or a Albook?

I think this list is for Powerbook users, no?  The new machine is a 
Powerbook, isn't it?  I see no reason we shouldn't welcome users of 
that box into the fold.

We may just want to edit the description to include "tiBook" and 
"alBook" users...

Oh yeah, best MacWorld in a looooooong time.  Really, really cool.

Did anyone else notice that the positive vibes around Apples Open 
Source efforts seemed to persist throughout the whole keynote?  I 
think Safari was a *VERY* smart idea for Apple ... holy smokes, look 
at what it does to their image compared to Microsoft.

There are keyboard backlight mods already for the older tiBooks ... 
maybe you should just try and find one and see if you like it?

Hey, me too ... here in Germany.  tiBook/400 on my DSL line... no TV though.

Was pretty smooth.  I'm now trying to find *other* Quicktime channels 
I can play on my tiBook, since I don't have (and don't want, and am 
not going to get) Television ... anyone got any cool streaming video 
sites they wanna recommend?

I was proud to be a Switcher.
