Bill, I'm a newbie too. I just "switched" from Wintel about 6 weeks ago. So far so good. Actually I'm still a PC user but I wanted to see what all the iBook excitement was about so I bought a new 800MHz iBook for Christmas. So far I think it's a great machine but it slows down horribly whenever I try to do anything more than simple tasks. It might be that I need more RAM but I don't know enough about the Mac system yet. The advertised 5 hour battery life seems to be off by about 1.5 hours too. As far as iListen goes... It doesn't work at all for me. I'm not sure why yet but I'd love to be able to use it.
