Weird...I had troubles with ibook 12.1/700's ethernet connector a few weeks ago. There are little metal "wings" inside the connector. One of them bent out slightly and kept grabbing the cable.

No big troubles playing dvd's on mine. Really really crazy stuff like Run Lola Run (lots of the camera getting jerked around and floating) makes it drop the ocassional frame, but all in all its pretty good. There were some decoder improvements a while back I think... All in all I like my ibook. Yeah a tibook would have been nice, but they're too expensive and I don't do video editing/other hugely graphical stuff on my laptop to necessitate a g4. My only argument against buying an (t)ibook now is that they've been the same price/specs for a long long time...so they're probably due for an upgrade or price drop soon...that'd happen before the big christmas buying season, i would imagine... Cheers, Reid
