I just got the worst feeling in the pit of my stomach. We bought a tv table this weekend to keep the iBook on. Well, the only problem is that it leaves some cords laying around. Our PC bit the proverbial dust tonight, so I was getting up to help my wife figure out what was going on with it, when all of a sudden... crack. The ethernet cable ripped out of the notebook port. I'm probably lucky that the notebook didn't fall, but it *did* break the tabs that hold the cable in place. So now I'm thoroughly bummed. Looks like I'll take it to the Apple Store on Tuesday to see if they'll fix the screen, and who knows, maybe they'll be generous enough to fix this port as well. A guy can pray, can't he? James
