[P1] icebook/ibook

[Joe Jones]

I much prefer the crystal white colouring than the new solid white 
colour, so much so that if I buy one the new 900MHz ones, I'm seriously 
considering transplanting the entire internals of the new iBook into my 
600Mhz iBook's chassis, then putting the internals of my 600 into the 
new solid white case and selling it.

Aesthetics are important!
