It's hard to say, Apple did a good job over the last year of falling
completely out of their upgrade cycle in several lines. The iMac G5
has remained the same since September when it was released. Typically
apple revamps each series every 6 months or so, so March-April would be
a good guess,
Why get a larger one?
More processing power than the 12 model? a laptop that I don't have
to crouch in on my lap in order to keep it from falling off?
BTW, I wish I had sprung for that superdrive now, sure would have come
in handy a few weeks ago.

The other day I had some interesting things happen. I shut down my
iBook, and sat as it took longer than normal to power down. I let it
sit, came back to it a few minutes later to a black screen, so it
looked to be shut down as best as I could tell. Closed the lid, and
set it aside for the
have the old 1400, but it won't do the job that this iBook did,
and I want it back.

All i can tell you is that I've been told that if the iBook's HD makes
anymore noise than a light whirr it's dying or dead. Needs to be
serviced. Is it a G4 iBook? What I'm wondering is, is it new enough
to be covered under warranty, or does it have current applecare?
If so, take it in.

Well, apparently all does not end well. The software related problem,
