iBook's
Mac OS ROM at 3.1.1 !
Just
thought I'd drop you a note about the tangerine
iBook I received on 11/24 from Outpost.com (I
ordered in on 9/1). It works great and I'm
completely in love! Best of all, it came installed
with Mac OS 9.0, Mac ROM 3.1.1 ---- all is working
great and I was pleasantly surprised to have OS9
pre-installed. Just thought this might be good news
for those still waiting!
Keep
up the good work.
Jill

Do
You Know iBook ?
Dear
Sir,
Do
you know Apple?
Do
you know iBook?
Do
you know Alphatop in Taiwan which builds iBook for
Apple?
I
have www.Alphatop.com http://www.Alphatop.com , Do
you want to buy this domain name?
Maybe
you will get letters from Apple as I
were?
Give
me a price if you want it?
Best
regards,
jimmy_tang@alphatop.com

Jimmy,
#1 I Don't have a direct connection to Apple
#2 I Hope so, I run this web site and I own an
iBook!
#3 No, But I do now .
#4 No, I'm sorry Jimmy But I don't believe in
Extortion of any kind . The one thing that still
surprises me about the internet when it first
started is how no basic provisions were made to
protect businesses trade names.
Jimmy I encourage you to do the right thing and
give them the domain name. It's the right thing to
do.

Fashionable
Bag for Your iBook !
I
A new company called Fashiontronics.com
says
that their goal is to create "fashion for your
personal electronics". Their first offering is an
iBook bag for $49.95 plus $9.95 shipping. They say
that the bag has all the features that you come to
expect from a well made computer bag but it's
industrial grade PVC window allows the iBook to
shine through. Featuring a smart looking and
durable faux leather exterior, shoulder strap and
standard handle, protective inside padding, and
more, the bag provides a good value. Shipments will
begin in January.
Other
products in the works are more color co-ordinated
PDA accessories and laptop bags for people on the
go. They have been involved in the manufacture of
sportswear and sports bags and say they are excited
to bring some new and innovative designs to
personal electronics accessories.

My
Favorite Feature on iBook!
I
My fave feature of the iBook is its screen, very
bright and easily adjusted.
I
also like the long battery life.
My
dislike is of the relativly small screen size,a 14"
especially at its price point.
The
hard drive is ok thanks to cheap USB add ons and I
like the implementation of USB on the Mac in
general, having had to use PC's along side Macs for
years now I can tell the difference.
I
would prefer to see DVD (slot load please!) as the
CD drive lowers the tone of quality about the
iBook, again considering its price
point.
The
hande is a great feature as is the sleep mode light
pulsing (always raises a giggle) also the bright
colours used and the ease of access to the software
features such as the Palm desktop and the
configurable "F" keys make this a must have for
beginners, such as my father.
He
is the one who purchased the iBook on my
recommendation so that he can trade stocks over the
internet. I told him in order to do so he will need
to to pry the com puter from my cold dead fingers
first. As you can tell, I like the iBook a lot.
Can't wait for PISMO, then maybe I can let my dad
have a go of his iBook.
