I have had my iBook for about two years now, a lot of traveling, and graphics/presentation (Photoshop/Illustrator/Quark/InDesgn/ Dreamweaver/Powerpoint) use. Up until 6 months ago it was my main system. Other than the Logic board problem (fixed in 4 days) haven't had a problem. Great range

They were and are an inexpensive way to take you computer on the road even with all their issues. My iBook 600 has far more Airport range than my new Powerbook does with its Airport Extreme card in it. I have little invested in it, so if it breaks I am not out much and it plays DVD and writes CD's
