Thanks, onder, for the advice. I was prepared to take it for service 
(and have advised her to do so), but I hadn't considered that it was 
likely to shut down altogether. $200 doesn't seem so bad, all things 
considered -- last night, I was wondering whether I was going to be 
buying her a whole new computer (and if so, whether it'd be a laptop; I 
love my iBook).
