Jeez....am I glad that I paid for the APP right about now! I've had my 
600MHz iBook for a little over a month and if I could return it, I 
think I would. It's had the fatal freezes since the 2nd day I had it. 
I've called Apple twice already, so far they just keep having me 
re-install the OSs (OS 10.2.4 & OS 9.2.2). That is with one time of 
'erasing' the HD. Still this thing is slower than my upgraded 7300 
(G3/400/BSC 1 MB. In OS 9, GaugePro, says the CPU speed is 243.2MHz. 
Anybody know of any reason for that?
