[iBook] ibook/airport reception issue

Just checking in after being offline for a couple of days.

I've been under the impression that the antenna goes through the hinge 
& around the screen on iBooks, which would explain their normally 
excellent reception. It might be possible that the cable is broken or 
kinked. The G4 iBooks haven't been around long enough that the warranty 
has expired, even if you don't have AppleCare.

And if it's a G3 iBook, it doesn't "do" Airport Extreme, you need to 
swap in a regular old Airport card.
