I am a bit curious how uzziah's iBook is "dying". My iBook currently has the following "problems":
1) Battery lasts less than 10 minutes
2) Airport card doesn't work
3) After-market 30GB hard drive I installed overheated and died, so I'm back to using the original 10GB drive.
However, it still works just fine for email, web browsing, word processing, iTunes, etc.
I do have a new dilemma... I just realized that the G5 iMac has optical out. If I use that for music, I won't need an USB-Optical adapter (was thinking of the M-Audio Transit, based on all the recommendations).
That's $80 more I can put aside for the Benchmark DAC1

ok, i think i owe it to you find people to let you know where i am on all this:
when i say my ibook is "dying," that's not
necessarily the case
if i use it for awhile, i get a "do you want to shut down message"
then it usually shuts itself down anyway
if anyone has any ideas about what this might be, i'd really love to hear it
as of right now, i'm selling my ibook on ebay. it's possible i might change my add and revoke the listing, but if anyone's interested:

as of right now my latest thought is that a computer based system is just to much money for what it would be worth to me right now. i have about 50 cds; if i had 500, i would probably more readily go with a computer system, as changing cd's would be even more of a pain, big time.
i'm not even going to build a home system at first. i'm just going to have a portable system. most likely:
iriver imp-550
super mini moy
ety er4s
i would like a home system, but it's too much money right now because i've realized i don't really spend a lot of time listening at home. when i'm sitting down at home, i'm reading. i don't know about you, but i don't read and listen well at the same time
thanks, everyone. you've really got me thinking
