I've been a very happy user of iBooks now since the arrival of my tangerine and later a sleek dual USB model. But Steve has finally tempted me to return to the ranks of the PowerBook. I stopped in at my local dealer yesterday to drop off a couple of old iMacs for his donation program and he led me into his office like a lamb to the slaughter. There on his desk sat an aluminum 15 inch PowerBook he was getting ready for display. Being such a nice guy, he let me install some software on it and open up another one. Such a nice guy he is! Within an hour I was ready to pull out my wallet - but naturally he doesn't have any 15 inch combo drive models yet. I'll have to wait a few days. I've already found a new family for the iBook. You haven't gotten rid of me though. I support two iBook labs at work. david -=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=- All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by frost. davidwb at spymac.com
