What began as a few isolated reports of mysterious stains appearing on the wrist rests of Apple Computer's MacBooks looks to be more widespread and the impetus for a growing Web community of displeased owners.
Apple Computer is offering free replacement screens to owners of 15-inch PowerBook models whose machines have a flaw that causes the screen to display white spots.
Between the dust kicked up by the splashy announcement of Apple's iBook at July's Macworld Expo/New York and the amount of smoke being blown by some media commentators, it's been more than a little difficult to get a clear picture of how the new consumer portable fits into Apple's hardware roadmap.
FireWire connectivity has helped ignite sales of Apple's professional desktop Macs and (through third-party PC Cards) PowerBooks. Now sources say the I/O standard will soon spread to the company's consumer line of iMacs and, possibly, iBooks.
San Francisco -- Apple iCEO Steve Jobs unveiled the fast, new Power Mac G4 line during his keynote speech at Seybold Seminars San Francisco. He also announced a 22-inch flat-panel monitor. The first G4 desktops are now available for order in this country, according to Apple Australia.

The iBook G4 is a rugged notebook, well suited for students and home users who want a small, affordable Mac notebook.

The new Apple iBook is as easy to use as any Mac and comes with plenty of documentation.
The original iBook wasn't everybody's cup of tea: veteran columnist John Dvorak described it as "girly". But this year's model sports a more conservative industrial design.
