Sleep? What's sleep?

Bleeurgh. Couldn't get to sleep until after 3am last night, and so am so much fleshy rubbish this morning. The one good thing is that I'm up in Suffolk right now, keeping an eye on Mum during her immune system's post-chemo drop.

Apart from that, the world seems to be conspiring to annoy me today.

The combo drive on my iBook appears to have given up the ghost, which is irritating. I should drop into the Bluewater Apple Store on the way home on Thursday, I suppose, and see how much it'll cost to get fixed (six months out of warranty of course) and if it's too much, see if I can muddle by until the Intel versions are released, relegating this machine to an e-mail and web terminal for the living room.

We'll see…

Is there an expected release date for the Intel based iBooks? I'm holding off on buying a PowerPC iBook because I'll kick myself silly if the Intel iBook comes out 2 weeks later.

Apple never announce these things in advance, but the general expectation is "any minute now"

The whole product line is now Intel, bar the Power Macs and the iBooks, and I can't imagine they'll wait that much longer.

So the next question to mind is cost - presumably they're going to price them within a ballpark of the iBooks?
