    I upgraded my rev A blueberry clamshell to Jaguar and I just love it!  The ram was upgraded to the max of 288  and the internal drive was switched out with a 30 gig drive.  Under these conditions,  I love the little iBook.  Jaguar runs nicely and plays well with my HP printers.
    I also have a Titanium 800 pb  running Jaguar.  Yes it is faster.  (But the iBook with Jaguar and more memory  is faster than the iBook was on OS9, not to mention as stable as a rock.)  And I just love having the huge screen on the Ti.  BUT...the iBook still works quite well.  I have no problem grabbing her by the handle and hauling down to the library to do research.  I don't worry about dropping it  or it getting stolen  anywhere near as much as I worry with the Titanium. And I have already determined the iBook is diet Dr Pepper proof.  [I use both machines for Pagemaker, and websurfing.]
