Instead of upgrading the iBook line they introduce a new machine which features a processor that, according to my damaged memory, was introduced at least a year ago for $500 more than the iBook it should have gone in to. Apple loves you. They really, really do.
Also, pay no mind to the fact that the iBook they'd like you to buy has a graphics card that doesn't take advantage of the finder-level hardware graphics acceleration they built into sytem 10.2. You'll be cooler than a Windows/*nix/whatever user. That's all that matters.
No kidding. I mean, it's not like Apple has a history of taking forever to write any sort of decent Windows-compliancy-code -- I mean, they managed to get an SMB implementation (in 10.2, finally) for their operating system only a few years after the SAMBA project did the same thing for Unix.
Nevermind that the spec had been released and all that. God, Microsoft just makes things so hard for Apple, don't they?
