These off-topic threads pop up occasionally, and are often entertaining in a
non-iBook kind of way. People on this list definitely do think differently,
particularly from each other. At any rate, the rants go on for a few days,
then subside and we're back on subject.

I've had tons of Macs over the years, desktop and notebook, even going back
to the desktop sized original Mac Portable. I now use the 600 MHz iBook
model you're considering (though mine has the DVD & CD burner drive) and I
honestly think it's the best Mac I've ever owned. And I paid $700 more for
it (new) just 7 months ago than the price you're looking at. My opinion? Go
for it (along with some extra ram, which you can install yourself.)
