5 years, holy sh!t. I remember waking up early for the stevenote, making some pillsbury cinnamon rolls and choco milk, and bundled in my blanket, watching him intro the blueberry and tangerine iBooks. 5 years...wow!

The first time I ever lusted after an Apple was after seeing the rows of boxes containing the new colored iBooks and iMacs at my local CompUSA.
Those colored iBooks are gorgeous!! I wanted an Orange one soooo bad. Sometimes I wish that Apple would reintroduce the color back into their line of iBooks. I'd be the first in line to buy one!!!

My favorite Mac ever was my Blueberry iBook. I like the clamshell models much better than the new models. I keep thinking about picking one up again but the price it just so high for the performance. Still, they are one of the best looking laptops ever made.

I had a 466 Graphite SE. Was a great lil Mac with amazing design. No other laptop, Mac or otherwise has it beat there, even today. Performance was reasonably good in its day. Downsides? The screens were crap and they weighed a ton.

The 466 SE was truly a lovely machine... first iBooks with FireWire, all the kinks wrung out of the design and fabrication process by then, that lovely graphite-on-white, and decent AGP graphics/DVD-drive.
I had quite the hankering for those machines at the time, as well... but ended up buying a 500 MHz Chiclet when they were introduced [though I had to wait nearly THREE MONTHS before the bloody thing arrived! That's what I got for BTO'ing the hard drive up by twenty gigs...yeesh!]

The legendary consumer portable! I was crazy busy at work, so I didn't make it to the Javits Center until Friday afternoon. I got there at 4:05 pm, 5 minutes after the Expo closed. (I had assumed they would be open until 5 or 6.) I only saw the Tangerine and Blueberry iBooks from 50 feet away.  At least some Japanese guy who was leaving was nice enough to give me one of his iBook posters. That's all I got.
At the time, my PowerBook 2400c (and my Bondi iMac) were still working wonderfully. So I waited until the white iBook (Dual USB) to jump on the iBook wagon in 2001. Thankfully, I'm back to a PowerBook now.

Until we get a 3 lbs sub-PowerBook, the 12-inch PowerBook will do.
