Know where I can get it? I'm not certain it's worth the investment, with new iBook prices coming down. ---------- >> All the dynamic memory software is slow, too.

Does it have a separate PRAM battery? If it does, I bet it needs to be replaced. Thanks, Ken N. ********** -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
