I’ve let the last couple MacWorlds slip by without too much notice. I really haven’t been in the market for any new kit, and I didn’t have the time to play with it even if I did somehow manage to shop for it.<\/p>\n

But I’m pretty excited about this month’s show, mostly because of the rumors <\/a>of a new, Intel-based, possibly even widescreen iBook (dubbed the “IBook”). Alas, my 900MHz G3 is still running like a champ, albeit after having its daughterboard replaced in the last year. And I did pick up a Mini not too long ago, so I don’t need <\/em>anything. My mom, on the other hand, does <\/em>need a replacement for her iBook, which died a couple weeks ago. She’s been using mine during the day while I’m at work to get her e-mailing done, which has been a good temporary solution. My hope is that Apple does in fact announce new iBooks next Tuesday, and that those new iBooks are shipping the day of the announcement.<\/p>\n
