Pros: Right out of the box, this speedy notebook works flawlessly. I've been using it 3 months and it hasn't crashed once (Try going 3 hours on a Windows system w/o trouble!). from Amazon.com Apple have really outdone themselves with this unit. It is about the most capable laptop i have seen in its price range or many ones above it! from Amazon.com Apple have really outdone themselves with this unit. It is about the most capable laptop i have seen in its price range or many ones above it! from Amazon.com I bought this laptop in May of 2004 to use in college. Before deciding upon on which computer, I researched for a very long time. from Amazon.com This is my fifth Mac laptop and a problem that I had with the second one I owned has made a surprising comeback. The cursor jumps around the page while you are typing, so that you can be in the middle of the fourth line of text and all of sudden the cursor has 'jumped up to the middle of the secondline. from Amazon.com This is my fifth Mac laptop and a problem that I had with the second one I owned has made a surprising comeback. The cursor jumps around the page while you are typing, so that you can be in the middle of the fourth line of text and all of sudden the cursor has 'jumped up to the middle of the secondline. from Amazon.com This is my third Mac and my first Mac laptop. Didn't need the muscle of the PowerBook, only interested in email, wireless web, iPhoto, Quicken, stuff like that. from Amazon.com Well I bought into the hype and made the switch. A very expensive switch to the new 14" iBook 1.25 GHZ G4. from Amazon.com They proselytize sometimes, not often, and it is with clear conviction. They often give off the aura of knowing something you don't know but could discover, if only you were brave enough to follow their narrower path.

I have been listening to them off and on since I left the fold twenty years ago. I made a common choice, a change, when I felt abandoned, or rather shut out, from the fold.

Recently, however, after years of aggravation along the path I'd been following, their words started to hit home. I started to long for their satisfaction, their joy, the ease with which they got things done.

Lately I've been talking to them about their choice, asking questions, opening up about my fears and doubts, and, for the first time since leaving, began to think about joining once more.

Yesterday, I visited, talked much more with them, and decided: yes, it was right to change religions, and I did it right there, right then.

I bought a Mac, a 14-inch 1.25GHz G4 iBook.

from Amazon.com it came with 256mb ram, but i added a stick of 512 mb. from Amazon.com
