Last night she went gentley to sleep, battery completely depleted and never woke up. The officials said that the logic board failed and that it would be too costly to repair an obsolete machine. I bid a fond farewell to my G3 iBook (dual USB). You served me well over the last 5 years. iBook is survived by 5GB iPod (with moving scroll wheel).
On the other side, I just picked up my 250GB replacement LaCie F.A. Porche Firewire drive and then promptly went to the computer ghetto at Spadina & College and scored a 250GB Iomega USB 2.0 drive for all my back-up needs. I have learned my lesson. I plan to keep the USB drive off-site. I currently have 580GB of external drive space!
Not sure what the deceased iBook means in terms on future computer aquistions, but I will keep you posted. For now, long live the G4 14" iBook!

Wow. Its like all our collective Apple products decided to pack it in. At least the iPods are working.
By the way, the Nano is friggin' tiny.
I am starting to day dream about the computer options. I have narrowed it down to...
A spankin' new 15" MacBook Pro (a la Slippy) or perhaps a re-furbished 17" 1.67Ghz G4 PowerBook.
I have decided that any computer purchase (short term or long term) will be a portable. Don't want to tie myself down with an iMac or tower.
