As far as the charger goes... I keep mine plugged in all the time and have noticed no memory effect on the battery at all.
The only complaint I have is that the plastic case scratches a little too easily for what I use my iBook for. The area around the touchpad is also prone to get dirty pretty quickly. I was my hands before using the computer, and it still happens. No cleaner that I've been able to find takes care of this. It could be some kind of reaction with the oil from your hands, but I'm not sure. Overall, I'm very happy with the machine. The price and quality is the best on the market as far as laptops go. I'm guessing Apple will drop the iBook as soon as a G5 notebook comes out.

I just bought a new iBook 3 weeks ago -- my first experience with both a laptop and OSX and I love both!
Anyway, I was wondering about some general maintenance stuff:
1. What do you clean the screen with?
2. I'm normally working someplace where I can use the power adapter. Is this OK, or does the battery need to be used occasionally and then recharged? If yes, how often and how low should the charge go before I recharge?
If there's a good web site that explains all this, please point me to it. I looked for info a few days ago, but didn't have much luck,
Thanks!
