FWIW, I just purchased a G4 iBook. Got the 1G because Amazon had a rebate and price drop which meant I basically got the small speed bump (from the 933) and a 60G HD for nothing. It is plenty of computer for my needs, and actually makes my (work) 667 TiBook look a little long in the tooth at times. -- Robert Greenstreet [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 580.3105485 fax: 580.4363329 "We have no way of changing the past, but we have endless opportunities for changing the future." --Bhichai Rattakul, Rotary International President, 2002-2003 -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
