Wow. BIG mistake made twice in the same paragraph. She has a Lombard, 
and not a Pismo. That definitely makes a bit of difference when playing 
DVDs. :)

This will be a replacement for the Pismo that she's had for the last 
two or so years. The Pismo still works well, but she wanted something 
smaller, as well as something that could play DVDs under OS X. Hoping 
that the iBook will be as good to her as my PowerBook has been to me 
so far.

Lucky woman! But the Pismo actually plays DVDs quite nicely under OS X.

The sound is absolutely amazing, on the 1.3 GHZ iBook they have it set 
up so it's almost like a surround sound system, you hear tiny sounds 
and voices to about 180 degrees each side if it's or your lap or a bit 
further  Not overwhelming but you here voices, birds or MG 42s. Like 
being in the movie She will love it. You too.
Be well
Geoff

The iBook you describe is EXACTLY what I'm typing on now.  It's a great
little laptop.  I use it more than my G5 iMac.  She'll be VERY pleased with
it.

Umm, Pismo can play DVDs under OSX very well, even the slower 400MHz model
does a terrific job, with no stutters or other usual DVD problems.

"Attack of the Clones" looked great on mine earlier tonight.
