While I can't comment on the exact topic of this story since I don't own a 12" powerbook, I do have a 17" powerbook and can dismiss some misconceptions introduced by the previous post. I've had my 17" powerbook for a month, and I've experianced none of the problems mentioned in the previous post. I also think that the 17" runs cooler than my previous laptop(lombard pbg3). It has multiple ventilation slots as well as a really powerful/noisey fan, which keeps things relatively cool.
I was a member of AOL back when this first started. About 8 years ago(±1 year), AOL arbitrarily doubled everyone monthly rate(from $10 to $20) and gave us unlimited hours per month, or something like that. Sure, you could request the service plan that you were previously getting, but that meant several calls to their overcrowded tech support(averaged an hour per call of waiting time), and accounting departments. Both groups of people were quite shocked to hear that I wanted to "downgrade" my service. Anyway, within 6 months of this, I cancelled my membership to AOL, and they continued to charge me for their service for almost another year. Back then AOL was a poorly run company, and it looks like those problems combined with the Time Warner merger have finally made people realize that AOL just isn't worth it.

Spony isn't in the dictionary......so what is something that appears spony?
