ibook 5.9, Powerbook 4.9. Full Keyboard goes thru F12 + Eject Key,  
iBook thru F12 where F12 is the eject key. Also, the Powerbook  
keyboard has aluminum keys which feel better than my iBook plastic  
keys. iWork is a consumer page layout and presentation application. I  
happen to like the transitions in Keynote, so I use it for slide  
shows, Pages is handy for quick and dirty news letters. Obviously I  
have no experience with the new release...jf
