We have had many other computers since we bought this iBook about seven years ago. The battery is good for abut 50 minutes of runtime now, but when new we could use this little charmer for about 5 hours. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>We have recently updated the little iBook's operating system to Tiger, OSX 10.4.11 and now it operates better than ever. We also have the newest MacBook Pro. We can imagine it being the most ever used used computer in our household. The MacBook is turning out to be much more intuitive, useful and flexible for us. It's more like what a computer is suppose to be. We met with a teacher last night that bought a new iPhone just a week ago and has hooked it up to a projector to teach his students in class. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Wow! Only with an Apple. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></p>...

My wife had to tell me their was another gear as were drove along at Autobahn speeds. One of our time-shares high in the Swiss Alps was part of our daily commute where we were amazed by the Jetta's unusual torque. Second and third gears were all that was need to gobble up the forty five minutes of switchback's to Targon. We computed our overall millage at 42 MPG. We believe the radio is different in the Jetta's sold in Europe. We felt quite safe and comfortable in this black Jetta. Our month long suitcases hid comfortably in the trunk. The roomy interior was comfortable for our large senior frames. Thank you VW and EuroCar.</p> <p/>...
