Perhaps you have a recommendation for me then. I am looking for a
small, very rugged, and inexpensive laptop. The iBook seems to fit the
bill nicely. I can get it configured how I want for about $1200. I
could get a Sony that does what I want for about $1000 more, but it
would probably be less rugged than the iBook.
