I'm still not sure the iBook will sell, then again, I wasn't sure about the iMac either. I certainly am not the target audience :) Same. I realized that I wanted contradictory things: high end specs, light weight, and cheap. So I set myself up to be disappointed. Maybe there are really four quadrants within the notebook market, not two: 1. High end specs, heavy, expensive (e.g. Vaio, Powerbook, Toshiba Tecra) 2. High end specs, light, expensive (e.g. Vaio Superslim, Toshiba Portege) 3. Low end specs, heavy, cheap (e.g. iBook, Toshiba Satellite) 4. Low end specs, light, cheap (e.g. Toshiba Libretto) The iBook could do well within the third quadrant. But Apple still needs to address quadrants 2 and 4. rhet0ric
