really? i havent found Terminal.app to be a problem at all (except that 
they emulate a vt100 -- dark ages tech ;) if they upgraded to xterm-color 
then i'd be very happy, and i dont think it would have been difficult for 
them...

i'm having only one regret about buying this iBook... that i didn't get 
a TiBook instead ;) mmm... quartz accelerated... <drool/>

full parts and software servicing. 24/7 helpdesk support (although i 
havent tried it i dont know if its any good) and a crappy service CD with 
programs to test hardware...

and its 140UKP, not 100 (at least for my 600Mhz/COMBO iBook)

cya,
