My computer is dead. I'm a wreck. I wasn't expecting this sudden expense, you know?
So I have to make a choice between the iBook and PowerBook listed here: [link]
Can anyone help me with pros/cons? I'm just not that familiar.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The only major limitation iBooks have is the cheap graphics cards. Which I think only matters if you play a lot of videogames.

ugh, Allyson, unexpected expense is the suck! I bought a refurbished iBook last year directly from Apple and it was less expensive than the one listed on your link. And it's been a joy! I wanted a Powerbook because ooh bigger! ooh shinier! but I really didn't need it for what I do.

Yeah, they got them in Intel and G4.
I don't think I can link directly, but go to Apple/ store/ refurbished

sure! They have refurbished everything (well whatever they have in stock, not everything is available always). It worked out really well for me. So much cheaper (by like $500 or so) and the computer came loaded with all the latest software and has worked beautifully.

At the Apple store, there's an $799 refurbished 12" iBook G4. That's the same price as the new one on Allyson's link.
eta: Identically configured too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Now, whenever I hear of someone about to give birth, I think, "I wonder who's in there?" Soon we'll know.

An article in Newsweek International about how we are losing in Afghanistan. What's weird is it shows the covers of Newsweek in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the US. The Afghanistan story was the cover story everywhere but in the US. Here the cover story is something on Annie Leibovitz.
Does Newsweek think that we in the US just don't care about Afghanistan? Or are they afraid of pissing off rightwingers?
