All iBooks since the lime clamshell model also have built-in firewire. The Pismo bought used now is still pricey - unusual for a model that has been discontinued for so long. But I agree with you that the G3 Series PowerBooks overall still represent the best options for expansion with their built-in expansion bays (which is one reason I will not let go of my Wallstreet . . .)! There is a price to be paid for the thinness and weight loss of both the iBook and the TiBook and its name is expansion. --bj Like jazz? Like Brazilian music?
