Ibook purchase

[lurk]

PDS, I don't think that the memory form the present iBook would work any way. It is too slow.

I didn't mean that, what i wanted to say was that since none of the models will be "gameable" :P i'd rather not beta-test hardware

While I don't particularly _hate_ the old iBooks now (still love 'em), I'd say buying one for only marginally less money than a new MacBook can't really be the right thing to do... Resolution, processing power, features... The "betatesting" issues can't be that much, either. They certainly learned from the MacBook Pro already (there are mini-revisions for the 15" model already which solved most of the early problems...), and the hardware is basically what can be found in the Mac minis, which - AFAIK - are working just fine...
