How it revolutionized my life:
  • Due to the untimely death of my previous iBook in an unforseen accident involving Diet-Coke and gravity, I was forced to buy a new computer.  Investing in a new iBook was a no-brainer, given how wonderful and useful I had found the previous model. 
  • The choice to purchase a new laptop instead of desktop proved immensely fortunate, as my iBook became absolutely necessary while moving from university to San Francisco.  
  • Driving routes, contact information, hotel registration information, etc. were kept with me in the car while moving, helping me stay organized logistically and financially.
Its effect on the computer market:
  • This model of iBook was another discrete advancement that kept Apple, as always, a step ahead of its competitors.
