Hi all, I just found this list and wanted to introduce myself. Today I purchased from apple.com, a brand new 12" ibook g4. I was pretty excited about the new minor upgrades to the ibook line, as that hits my $1000 price point very well. I ended up adding the 60 gig built to order option to give me a little more room for storage. Ive grew up with macs. Started with an apple 2, was first online with a black and white powerbook, started video editing with a apple performa 638cd, worked at campus computer lab with 100's of g5 macs and many cinema displays. I deal with windows every day at work. (I work on a rugged handheld that runs Windows Mobile). I've been itching to get back to apple computers (I haven't had one of my own since the performa days), so I am pretty excited to have my ibook. good to be here!, Jeff
