[P1] iBook G3, iBook G4, PowerBook G4

[Mike Wallinga]

This is a "me, too!" post.  I had a 700MHz G3 iBook, and the logic 
board went bad.  Instead of repairing it (it was out of warranty and I 
didn't have AppleCare), I got a G4 iBook.  I'm very happy with the G4 
iBook, and every indication I have is that it's a well-built machine.

Of course, I thought the same thing of my G3 iBook for a year and a 
half!  So, like you said, it's too early to tell with the new iBooks, 
but my report is very favorable.
