There do seem to be a few rather bitter techo types here .
They vaguely go on about other laptops being as light, or as cheap or more stuffed with "useful" features like floppy drives or Edison wax-cylinder cutting options, but none of these "great" alternatives have all these plus points.
As usual, Apple is the first to chuck out the near-obsolete drive, remember the shock when they dropped the floppy?
Then the battery thing. I've had my iBook for three or four years. The battery has never been removed, and works fine. So what's all the screraming about?
