[iBook] ibook or powerbook

[Jean-Paul Thuot]

For me the price versus features thing made the decision for me.  I
couldn't justify the added difference in cost for what doesn't amount
to a huge difference in performance.  I'd rather have an iBook and max
out the RAM etc. than get the low-end Powerbook that I'd be able to
afford.
