No personal experience here, but I've read that all the G3 iBooks (white) had this problem, except the 500 mHz model. Apple claims to have this problem licked with the g4 iBook though, AFAIK. Personally, I've only owned it for a few months, but I really really really ike my iBook G4. I feel it

Apple is having a difficult time making a portable version of the G5. right now it requires too much power and produces too much heat to work in a laptop. Also, there are size considerations. The processor right now is too large (physically) to fit in a case as compact as the ones that apple
