Dear Nick, Can you tell me more about the ibook problem. I bought an early Ibook as did a friend of mine. Both of our machines developed problems outside of the guarantee. I've still got mine, he threw his away and bought a new one, but with a 3 year Apple warranty. After 18 months his second machine developed exactly the same problem, which was repaired under warranty. This has put me off Macs for life and after years of Mac usage I'm now making the painful transition to PC's. If this fault is well recognised then perhaps they will fix mine? Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark.

I've just put my i-book in to Apple and now have a �400 bill for a fault that has developed 'inside' the machine during regular use, therefore outside my insurance company's remit for a claim. Apparently it's a common (and controversial) fault that happens just outside the one-year's warranty period to many i-books. Apple extended the guarantee to include models and specified certain serial numbers ...but not mine! There's been a law-suit running in the US filed by disgruntled users outside the guarantee, but I don't know if there's a similar one here.
