All G3 iBooks are now covered by the repair extension program, which means Apple is being forthright in saying that eventually, all G3 iBooks are likely to have the issues covered by the program. That's commendable for Apple, but not for the G3 iBooks. I had several and all eventually went to screen and/or motherboard issues. I also run tiBooks and alBooks--I like them much except their cases are not as durable as iBook cases. I hear the G4 iBooks rock, case included.
---- Pat, I have a 900mHz G3 iBook and I love it. I was my "daily driver" until I got a great deal on a 1gHz TiBook. For most tasks, it's about 80-90% as fast as the TiBook and is much more portable. If I didn't have to use Virtual PC so much, I'd still be using the iBook every day. That's the only program I use daily that was just too slow on the iBook. I'm keeping it as my "back-up" and to use around the house as a spare. I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but I've been nothing but thrilled with my iBooks. We still have a 600mHz and 900mhz in the house and both work flawlessly. As usual, your mileage may vary. :-) -Hal On Jul 1, 2004, at 7:50 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > OK, I am looking for opinions on these iBooks.
