Are you using 10.2.8?

I have intermittent connection to the internet (generally only certain
addresses) using 10.2.8 and my 700 icebook, Pat has problems as well and I
am wondering if there is something to the thought of a bug causing problems
with 10.2.8 and iBooks? I am using Airport as well to the router/DSL
modem...if Pat and yourself are also doing this as well and are using 10.2.8
there may be something to this issue??? I wonder if the battery issue is
also a part of this...

Anybody have this problem as well (and better yet did upgrading to 10.3 get
rid of it?)
