I’m sad to say that my first Mac, a 12″ iBook G4, is dead.  I’ll never forget lap dances from the ol’ iTramp…  It was definitely one of the best computers I have ever owned.

After taking a spill, the internal display no longer works, which some certified repair technicians tell me would probably cost one half to two thirds the price of a new MacBook.  That rules out the repair option.  I’m thinking about getting a cheap netbook (running Linux of course, no Windows) to satisy my couch web surfing needs.  More research is needed on that matter.
