Ever since I installed 10.2.1 and I leave my iBook on for about 12 hours straight the USB will go out and my mouse or keyboard wont work. I unplug them both in and out and they dont work. After about 5 minutes of doing this they "Might" come back. If they do come back the Dock doesnt magnify and the menus dont show the selected item and submenus dont open. The Stop Lights at the top of the windows dont hoover with the x - + buttons. So I end up having to restart. And well I like bragging about my uptime. this is a real pain for me. Anyone have a fix or have similar problems?

Hmm I have the same iBook as you and I haven't experienced that problem, the only thing I have noticed with 10.2.1 is that they haven't fixed the low battery message problem when you wake your iBook from sleep. I've had my iBook up for about 4days straight before rebooting.

BTW uptime also a measure of how out of date your O/S is in terms of patches/fixes

I decided to try 10.2.1 on after my iBook developed a tendency to get kernel panics under 10.1.5. (10.2 is really expencive in Norway, but one of my customers offered it to me, so I saw no reason to decline...)

I've also experienced - in the 2 days I've been running 10.2.1 on my iBook - 2 sleeps where I've had to repower to get the machine up.

I don't like this...
