CompUSA had the one I wanted--it's the Apple replacement P/S, the 65W model. The one that has that nifty replaceable plug so you can use it anywhere on earth (with the right adaptor plug).

Did you get an exact replacement? The round roll-up P/S? If they suggested you go to CompUSA, then I wouldn't loose any sleep over it. Theres only one kind of "Ice colored" iBook that I know of. They are still producing them, but with a G4 processor now. So P/S compatibility could be an issue. Could you have gotten by the 1 to 7+ business days it would have taken them to get it in? Pardon my child like tendencies, but I'd take instant gratification for my computing needs over patronage any day.
