I finally got my iBook (after waiting 3 weeks!!). I am VERY satisfied with it! I am right now in my boss's office, typing this up while the iBook is in my lap (I have AirPort). It is very nice, and isn't like the other iBook that my boss bought for the special ed teachers that "wobbled". I mean, it wouldn't sit flat on a flat surface!! (becuase one of the feet is on the battery, and it wansn't in there solid. I was just making this post to let people ask me questions about it, and to hear your comments! HAVE A NICE DAY!<br><br>[color:red]-- John Bailey</font color=red> ( [color:red]Bdog</font color=red> )<br><br>[color:blue]Email Me!</font color=blue> [email] [color:green]bdog_111@yahoo.com</font color=green> [/email]

So far, so good. One minor problem, when I push down the spacebar, it SOMETIMES hit's the edge of the casing, and that just bugs me, but it still works perfectly fine!. I stll have yet to try out the Ä sycronisation. Also, I am going to be doing some hard core networking with it (network assistant on about 500 computers) and I will let you know how that goes (probably bad, since net assis sucks!)<br><br>[color:red]-- John Bailey</font color=red> ( [color:red]Bdog</font color=red> )<br><br>[color:blue]Email Me!</font color=blue> [email] [color:green]bdog_111@yahoo.com</font color=green> [/email]

i saw one in person last night for the first time while walking around downtown ann arbor. someone was using it sitting at a table outside drinking a coffee. i wanted to walk up and touch it and whatnot but decided to let him enjoy the glory of his ibook all for himself. it looks alot smaller than i figured it would be. it makes sense to me after i saw it though. same screen as the old ibook, but they chopped off all that extra roundy plastic. very sharp looking. the lit up apple was so beautiful. it was near night and it was lit so bright and pretty. ahh. i want one.<br><br>

Yes, it is smaller than you expect, after you use it, it seems to get bigger :-) OMFG!!! I HAVE AREADY MANAGED TO PUT A "NICK" INTO THE SCREEN!!! It isn't even 1 day old!! I am sooo dumb. Oh well, u can only notice it from a certain angle, and if the pixels behind it are completely white! You don't notice it if your NOT looking for it . Still, so far, so good!<br><br>[color:red]-- John Bailey</font color=red> ( [color:red]Bdog</font color=red> )<br><br>[color:blue]Email Me!</font color=blue> [email] [color:green]bdog_111@yahoo.com</font color=green> [/email]
