And now I'm almost glad I didn't get the Powerbook for my birthday. It seems that the batteries they used in both the iBook G4 and the Powerbook G4 could go all flamey like one of my ex-roommates (hi, Sugar!), or, more to the point, like a Dell laptop. So they're recalling every darned one of nearly 2 million portables.
Natch, it isn't their fault that there's a problem -- it seems to be on Sony's end of things, flammable particulate matter where it doesn't belong, and all that. But this can't be good for their stockholders. And, it means I should probably not expect a Powerbook for Christmas, either (as if I really did!)
