I borrowed a tiBook this weekend. Musical time is upon us and I was 
recruited at the last minute to do some lighting design. I was already 
committed to putting together the program so I spent about 30 hours in 
the sound/light booth and auditorium arguing with the light board and 
director while taking photos and doing the program. The extra speed 
makes inDesign usable (it is barely acceptable on my iBook) but I agree 
with you. It is not a comfortable notebook to carry and I worried about 
the hinges the whole time I used it.
