For those of you considering an iBook/Powerbook, currently
there is a promotion whereby you can get a $200 rebate when
you buy either plus an iPod.  You get the rebate even if
you use an educational (one jr/community college class
qualifies)/corporate discount when purchasing.

This might be a good way to assuage the spouse/SO if you
get in trouble for buying yourself expensive "toys". ;-)
Or a nice rationalization for those of you lusting after
both...

*cough*

You can also get refurb'd 1Ghz G3/G4 iBooks for <$1K--
click the "Special Deals" on the lower right @ the Apple
store webpage.
