Re: Advice on a iBook ...

[Blake Carlson <blake@coin-operated.net>]

I just checked apple.com and words cannot describe how I feel right
now since I just bought my TiBook last week. I am sooo disappointed,
still like my TiBook, but I feel cheated.

Do you know when these will actually be available?  Sure - you can
buy one now but when will you get it?
