An ibook is a G4 notebook machine and has just come off sale in
Australia at least to be replaced by the Macbook so if you're just
looking for a nice notebook at considerably less cost than a Macbook
then talk to Apple or have a look around on the second-hand market,
ebay etc and see what savings you can make on an Ibook, I understand
that the new Macbook is slightly thinner in size but the demensions
are roughly the same.. Yes, the Macbook has more available to the
user such as audio digital in and out and a camera, the Ibook doesn't
have these things and I think the Macbook has a Giganet port whereas
the Ibook only has a 100MBPS ethernet port.
The Ibook is not an intel machine meaning that it cannot run Windows
but it is compatible with Os10 for the most part and it seems to do
everything I've ever asked of it up till now including word
processing, playing MP3 files etc, the VoiceOver access and response
is excellent.

Hi Dane
In addition to what Jerry mentioned about the "Enter" key and the
"Return" key on the Mac:
In some Spreadsheet apps the "Return" key will confirm the entry
and move you down one cell whereas the "Enter" key will simply
confirm the entry and leave you in the same cell.
In some Word processors, the "Enter" key when pressed will insert
a page break in contrast to what the "return" key does.
another thing that may be of interest to you is the ability to
have the number pad, Page UP/down, Home/end and Insert/Del keys
by pressing cmd+f6 on your laptop. Press the cmd+f6 first then
turn Keyboard Practice on and see what you find on the right hand
side of your keyboard.
Not sure if this is new information to you but thought it worth
the note.
Later...
