All Powerbook titaniums, except the 17", since the 667 DVI have had 1280 x 1024. That's a 28% difference compared to 1024 x 768. I don't think the previous titaniums are interesting compared to current machines, but they had 1152 x 768. As far as I'm concerned, 1024 x 768 is a 5 year old and obs

more than I would pay for an older used TiBook with no warranty. I just wonder if I could use my regular Airport card instead of the AE? I'm currently using my Sawtooth as a "software basestation" for my Icebook, so I have no need for AE as I wouldn't be My guess is that it's integrated on the m

No such luck, different form factor on the cards. Still you are correct that the new iBook is a far better computer than the old Ti. Much more powerful, better video, combo drive instead of DVD ROM and most important, that new computer smell. All you lose is the screen size, but you make it up i
