It is a couple of years old and has always worked flawlessly. Today, when I inserted a music CD that I have used many many times, I get the message that the disk I "inserted was not readable by this computer", however, I can put this disk in another iBook and it is fine. I then tried a data disk and that worked. I then tried another music disk and got the same message. If I go to disk utility, I see the disk there, but it does not sure up in iTunes. I repaired permissions and reset the PMU and neither made a difference. Does anyone have an idea on what could be happening??

Have you tried cleaning the laser lens? There are special cleaning CDs that one can purchase, usually with a bottle of cleaning fluid. You might also try getting a can of pressurized air and blowing in there. It's amazing how much dust there is inside and how little it takes to bring an optical drive to its knees. If that doesn't work, then I suspect that the drive has gone bad.

You can expect the new one to work for at least three years, while if you go for a used iBook G4 (which I happily own), you'll never know when it will die and you'll sure see the difference in speed, even for the tasks you mention. Bottom line: your needs and the budget you have.

I'd be primarily using it for office duties (word processing, spreadsheets and maybe a presentation) and chrcking E-mail. There is no question: the MacBook. Buy the Apple Care, too. I have owned all three: the G3, G4, and MacBook. The MacBook is a much bigger jump from the G4 than the G4 was from the G3. MacOS 10.5 will, as I understand it, begin the move away from software that can run on the G-series. Unless you have a requirement for a MacOS 9.x-only software task, don't even consider a G4. I don't advocate always buying the latest and greatest--that's a good way to waste money. But being on the tale end of the product life means you are wasting time and energy and competitive opportunities. The MacBook is ripe now. Pluck one for yourself.

Here is where things seem to stand at the moment. Bill Montreal "With a public release of Leopard due at some point in October, Apple must finalize the operating system within weeks, and so may be considering its latest version as a possible final build. The Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard pre-release version for developer testing currently lists system requirements as a G4 867MHz or faster processor, which makes several older Mac models incapable of running the forthcoming operating system."
