Ok iBooks are getting thin where I am and I would like to buy it at a store then online so that is why things are thin... they are on the way out it seems and I was wondering what you guys think...

Money is and it will be a bit of a pinch to get it but I think I can handle it...

My question is should I get an iBook or do you think if i wait a little longer they will come down in price or do you think waiting for a new release updated iBook is the way to go... I can't afford a mac book pro...

I like the iBook a lot I just wondering if the G4 iBook is on it's way out and I should wait for the new ones...if they are coming out with one???

yeah, any wireless router should work fine......
i'd personally wait for the the ibook, which might be coming out in a couple of months.... Chances are the hard drive will be bigger, and the screen will be wide screen. Plus , the computer will hold its value longer....

They haven't been updated in so long and even the fastest ones aren't that great. I would wait, if that is an option.

....and how exactly do you figure that?
The computer's value is a relative thing, depedant on the user. And besides... most computers, regardless of OS, will last for at least 5 years if kept in proper order... possibly longer, before they are totally obsolete.
Just because a computer has a "newer" technology does not necessarily mean it will be "worth more" in the long run. What matters is how useful the system is to the user.
