Ok then, it's official then, it is a feature. Phew--I was hating to think I
might have to send the thing back.

Can't help with the popping noise, but I will keep an ear out for the same
problem.

I think it is a tribute to Apple engineers that every time I get a new
'book, it is always the best one ever. I got my new iBook ostensibly as a
stop gap 'book before the next round of G4's. Well, I am in love with it
and almost ready to part with the Lombard I vowed I would never get rid of!
