    not to correct the wonderful roo....but [quote] ote that the 12" does not have a backlit keyboard or firewire 800 (it has one USB and one firewire port). <hr></blockquote>



    the 12 has 2 usb and 1 firewire port.....g



    wish it had one FW 800 port and the adapter down to FW400...g

    ごめんなさい (sorry). and, the 17" was not really flexy at all, nice and robust feeling. it didn't really feel that heavy, probably because the weight was rather well distributed. however, it is waay to big to fit under my coat. damn!...but maybe the 12"...hehe. and, yes, the girl is me, but you better watch those comments unless you want to incur jack's wrath!

    Can we give the new books another name than 'alubooks' ?



    'Alu' in my native language means Potato or 'retarded' or 'obese' in slang. Now we don't want these works of arts referred to as 'Potatobooks" do we? and they are far from being 'obese'.



    How about Albooks or Aibooks?

    haha.. potatobooks.



    AlBook would be the most gramatically correct, but I can't help liking AluBook. I hate the 'Al' thing, reminds me of Married...With Children.



    anyway, I'm incredibly torn now between the 800 iBook and the 867 12" PotatoBook. I love the G4, slot-load, Bluetooth, AirPort Extreme, but the iBook is all that I would really need and it's less expensive. I guess I'll be waiting to hear some responses after the new laptops have started shipping.

    My father's name was Al. So I like AlBook. If/when I get one I'll call it Little Al.

    I'm gettin' me a Potatobook, woohoo. As soon as I win the lottery. Every picture is so beautiful. The arrangement and styling is typically great. I love all of the spaciousness of the laptop, but when folded it isn't unmanageably large. Such a marvel.



    Jamil, what is your native language?
