Big changes are afoot for both the iBook and PowerBook lines: [link]
Without getting into specific dates at this time, sources familiar with Apple's Macintosh hardware roadmap say the company is striving to unveil a completely redesigned set of Intel iBook laptops just in time for next year's K-12 educational buying season, which takes place around April or May.

Expected to make its debut even earlier than the new iBooks will be Apple's first Intel-based PowerBook, sources added. The new 15-inch PowerBook will carry over many of the design elements and styles that have made its aluminum PowerBooks so successful, but will be about 20- to 25-percent thinner than today's model.
Also, no more 12" PowerBook. Why is that? I'm considering buying a PowerBook early next year, and I was leaning towards the 12" one, as I like the size of my 12" iBook.
I'm sorry about the loss of the 12" -- I'm a big fan of having teeny laptops rather than something I have to lug around in a suitcase. But if the thinness and (I hope?) lighter weight make up for it, I may be able to forgive.
Also, no more 12" PowerBook.
Nooooooooo! I like the teeny ones!
Yeah. Once nice thing about PowerBooks is that they have DVI (digital video) output and can be connected to monitors with much higher resolution than the PowerBook itself (neither is true of the iBook). So my idea is to get the 12" PowerBook and connect it to a big LCD display when I'm at home and need the extra screen real estate.
What's the name of the bar at the bottom of IE (6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920) where it'll show the URL of the link you're hovering over, and the type of site you're on? Something I did on this training machine means that it's defaulting to not being there. One of the web apps will spawn a window with it on, so I'm using it to generate my windows, but I'd rather know what it is, and where the setting in Internet or Folder Options to put it back.
Hmm. I don't see the relevant setting in either Folder or Internet Options.
On my IE, you just open the browser, go to View and check Status Bar.
DORK!
I'm talking to myself, by the way.
I have no idea how that got unchecked.
I'm convinced that, every once in a while, your browser just likes to uncheck stuff to fuck with you. Like "Block Pop Up Windows."
