update: sent it back...now waiting another week to get the ibook (with a bigger hard drive).
I reached the tipping point on Friday when the ibook refused to recognize my USB flash drive again...o well..
I agree with awilso in that i'm in no mood to mess around with UNIX....the store employee said there was no problem in returning, so I was pleased with the service....however, I wish they could have warned me about the $100 restocking fee
*patiently waiting*
