Can't speak to the iBook specifically, but regular crashes are often symptomatic of a full, or nearly full, HD and/or lack of memory for the applications open. Those are often the first things to look at, and fortunately to some of the easiest to fix. Certainly been the case for various Macs I have owned. If you're having daily crashes I would start there. The Bondi Blue only came with a 4 GB HD, and if you've had it since new, it could well be suffering from a bad case of electronic arteriosclerosis?
