[QUOTE="ninatim, post: 14309"] Anyone who has bought or is thinking of buying a new ibook G4 - be aware that there are known issues with the trackpad randomly hanging and sometimes not working at all upon startup. I have been forced to use a USB mouse to make sure I can get the cursor to move. if you check out the discussion boards at Apple's website you will see that many people have posted about the same problems, which include: 1. the trackpad hangs for varying amounts of times at random intervals. 2. The trackpad sometimes is frozen in the upper left corner at strartup, and multiple restarts does not correct the problem. 3. The cursor sometimes gets "hyper-sensitive" and starts jumping around the screen uncontollably. I tried reinstalling Panther which lessened the problem temporarily, but they have ll come back. If anyone else is having problems please post, so that Apple will do something about it. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
