However frustrating I continue to find my new iBook (*why* won't the finder open multiple tree folders????) it can also be very endearing.
Apple have just recalled my battery and sent me a new one which is why, as I write this, the computer is slowly beating itself up. In the instructions with the new battery it tells me I must discharge the current one and I can do various operations to achieve this faster, one of which is set it to play itself at Chess. This apparently will tire it out until it goes to sleep, and once it is asleep I can gently remove the old battery and replace it with the new.
So I have done just that - it is currently playing chess with itself - I have put it to Losers setting - and as it plays a sad little female voice announces the moves - Pawn E4 takes E5 - ~Pawn D5 to D4 and on and on until it wins, and then I set it to go again.
It's like listening to Hal slowly running down in 2001 -- "Dave...my mind is going...I can feel it...I can feel it."
Pawn F7 to F8.... King H7 to G6.....
