Hi Michele, Haven't used Wegener myself but over the last few years that I have been on the list several others have recommended them and I can't recall anyone posting anything but good experiences with them in terms of time, price or quality. There are a lot of people like yourself that are very much enamoured with the original iBooks either because of design or ergonomics for writing or just because... Sounds like you truly enjoy the clamshell, treat it to the upgrade it deserves and with an organisation that is professional and that you find sympathetic to Apple and iBooks and not to the 'local crew' if they are going to soak you just because they can't be bothered to work and don't like those 'pesky Apples'. Why not give Wegener and a few others a call to see how they treat you on the phone and judge who gets your business based on that experience. In any case let us know how things work out whatever choice you make. Cheers, Richard --
