If iBooks are going to continue to be good for the education market AND serve as a moderately priced laptop for those unable to buy the PowerBook, it should go G4 sooner than later. Why? Software. I know a lot of folks don't currently make use of Altivec features, but college students and an increasing number of consumers will. Maybe it will take a G5 for Apple to feel it can differentiate its PowerBook line from the iBook line but that should end soon I hope. Donald, still in G3-Land and running PhotoShop 7. PS Maybe my ship will come in and I'll be able to get a G5(or the equivalent) PowerBook with that patented color-changing case :) -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
