[QUOTE="buckley, post: 62574"] In the 15 months that I've had my iBook, I've only experienced a handful of app-specific crashes (Quicktime and MS Word being the most notorious freezers), but never anything serious. So everything was fine until this weekend, when the thing crapped out on me. I am 99% sure that it's the ol' logic board, which Apple had better replace (they provide coverage for such failures until Dec. 17). So as long as the thing was working it was great...but for it to only function for 15 months is bogus. I have an old PC laptop from 1996 that still works. Sure it may be laughably slow and prone to freezing, but at least it still sputters and churns away after 8 years. I feel duped for having bought the iBook- I think quality has taken a backseat to image/marketing. [/QUOTE]
