[Item Permalink] The new iBook is speedy and pleasant -- Comment()
Another good thing about the new iBook G4: Encyclopedia Britannica 2005 actually is usable on the new iBook. Enough speed and enough memory, and everything works fine. The scrolling trackpad helps in reading the articles, no need for cumbersome mouse clicking any more.

I read the EB2005 article on Artificial Intelligence, and must admit that the contents were quite above the similar entry in Wikipedia. Although the Wikipedia entry wasn't bad, it was not reallly the work of a skilled and knowledgeable writer.

Another good thing: the keyboard is nice, not flimsy as it used to be in the G3 iBook. Typing on the new iBook is a pleasure.
