>My question is, what is an iceBook? Is this vernacular for a >particular model series of iBooks? Yes. IceBooks debuted in May 2001 with the dual USB 500 megahertz model and were the first non-clamshell iBooks Apple made (and continues to make, with increased megahertz models). >One other not really totally iBook question, what other applications can I >use to open gif files, besides QuickTime Player? Anything that opens gif files such as Photoshop, Gif Converter, almost all photo applications and software that comes with digital cameras, etc. Note that unless you paid for QuickTime Pro you cannot edit gif files with the QuickTime Viewer app. --bj Like jazz?
