Thanks alot again...well the sucky thing is, Boston College doesn't offer a discount on Apple products, nor do they offer a discount on any computer brand. They used to; in fact last year they offered large discounts on both IBM and Apple laptops.
As far as I know, when it comes to wireless networks there, you get the usual "We're working on it" response. All the dorms are wired for ethernet of course, and I think the libraries do have some sort of wireless, be it B or G.
Im looking at the iBook because I cant justify purhcasing an Powerbook at a $400 premium when in all honesty, I most likely will never use what I paid that extra $400 dollars for. And in terms of Apple desktops, the eMac would be nice, but in 4 years that CRT is going to look like a Commodore 64, the iMac's alright, but pricey, and the G5 is, well the G5.
If I were to buy an Apple, the main decision would be to buy it direct online, or go to a small Apple retail shop in my town. With the Education discount not really an issue, I think it would be better to buy from a small shop and bring in the product if it breaks, rather then ship it across the country.
Two quick questions : Does third party memory void an AppleCare warranty? And can anyone tell me about any problems they've had with logic boards? They seem to be a problem for Macs. ------Thanks
