modem and generally messing around trying to get it to keep it s wireless internet connection. It drove me MAD! In the year plus since I ve owned this little iBook - it has dropped offline once - that s right, just once! It s entirely reliable. When I first bought it, never having used a mac before, I really wasn t looking forward to trying to connect it up to my PC wireless network which can take an age. It went through it s little connection wizard and... it was connected in about 2 minutes! No fuss, no faff, no rebooting or swearing - truly this is how all computers should work! I can print things on my printer in the other room which is also connected up to the PC ...

I bought my G4 iBook almost 4 years ago and it is still going strong. That says something about the build of the machine, it s durability and usability. In that whole time I have only ever had one real problem with the machine, and that was when iTunes decided to crash. All it meant was that I had to restore my music collection by copying it back into iTunes from the hard drive music library. Sure, not exactly a fun thing to do but definitely nowhere near the problems that I ve had with PCs in the past. I have only ever caught one virus, and even now I m not actually sure it was a virus, given how rare Mac viruses are. Basically it just meant that my video streaming ...

I have a 12" iBook with the 1.33GH processor. i ve had it for 6 months now and the outside is still pristine white. looks-wise it is gorgeous! because i ve always been a microsoft user, i had to get some getting used to with apple mac, but shifting is pretty easy and i don t regret going for apple. i use mine for school, to store pictures, and music, for internet chatting and skyping. i love it because it is small and portable. it s very light and sturdy. it has an antishock device so if you accidentally drop it, it protects your files. it also has a built-in mic and speaker which both work really well. it has wi-fi and bluetooth and 2 usb ports, a firewire, a lan ...
