"1mHz"? Really? Surely you don't mean "milliHertz"?! And I thought my old
Apple IIe was slow... ;)

Heh! I know the feeling, Jim, and I'm a middle-aged guy, too. I got my iBook
700 back in May, and I LOVE it! (Of course, my previous computer was a PB
1400/G3-400!) You are in for a treat! ;)

Advice? If you haven't already, max out the RAM. As for the screen warp and
keyboard marking on the screen...

I haven't really noticed any warping of the lid on my machine. I do have a
keyboard cover, but I don't always remember to put in on before I put the
computer to sleep at night. Get the KlearScreen products - they're really
good and reasonably-priced!

Other than that? Hmmm...well, if you have access to it, cable modem ROCKS,
man! <VBG>

Otherwise? ENJOY! :)

Too late! :)

Major bummer! :/
