Perhaps it is as simple as the fact that iBooks purchased after April 
are still under warranty? Granted, what Apple is offering is an 
extended warranty to machines within that serial number range, but only 
on the logic boards exhibiting specific problems. Maybe Apple will 
offer the same thing to G3 iBook owners after their warranties expire, 
if the logic boards keep dying?
