[QUOTE="Desolate One, post: 60508"] Don't even get into a conversation as such with a PC person. They're like parents, "They just don't understand"! But in all seriousness as far as utilizing your iBook for multimedia purposes, you may want to look into getting an external FireWire HDD. While 30GB is fine for the average (read: surfing the net, some text, spreadsheets, pics, and other small files), 30 GB gets eaten away like hotdogs at a hotdog eating competition by a skinny Japanese bloke when you want to save video, music and other large files. I've got the 14" model (60GB, really 55GB perhaps even less) w/ 2+ days worth of music (according to iTunes) and 2 DVDs I ripped (about 7GB each!) for plane rides and I still have about 24GB left. So I'm not hurting at the moment. To save space later on I'll probably encode them. [/QUOTE]
