I joined this list yesterday hoping to find discussions focussed on the iBook. I take it there's no moderator on this list? <sigh> Oh well .... In the meantime I'm seriously considering adding an iBook to the household's stable of Macs (333 MHz iMac, 500 MHz iMac). Even though the local Apple stores are delightful places to briefly try out the merchandise, I'm generally a refurb kind of guy. I'm considering the refurb 600 MHz (20 gig HD, 128 meg RAM, CD only) iBook, approx $799 at smalldog and sometimes the Apple Store. Any thoughts on this model? My only previous laptop was a PowerBook 150, a very bare bones model in its day, and long retired with disk drive and (probably) dead PRAM battery problems. Best wishes, Patrick Draine
