I'll assume we're talking TiBk? AlBk reception and battery are at least equal to the iBook. The only reason (?) to go for the TiBk over an AlBk would be if you need to *boot* into OS 9. > The iBook is a great computer.

Agreed...so I'd recommend that, if you can, put this purchase off until June. Not only will the shipping version of Tiger likely be revealed, but the rumours of the much anticipated PBk G5 could be settled. If you still want a G4 PBk, I'm sure you'll get one for a significantly reduced price. -- Non Illegitimi Carborundum -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
