Same as mine ('cept I have the combo drive and upgraded to a 40GB drive). I'm happy to report that I've yet to encounter a kernel panic, or any OSX system related problems for that matter (just IE5 & Entourage crap-outs), and I work this little iBook hard. However I never shut it down (I put it to sleep), but I have restarted it several times after installs and upgrades. As such I rarely have to log out. I've found it to be more stable than OS9.x and have never had it crash or lock up in any version since I started using OSX (starting with v10.1.2). I guess I should count my blessing. -Mark
