Actually both work fine. It is their dependencies on outside elements that is limiting; mostly for the iBook (on OS9.1 no recent browsers, yet still very pleasant for use 'offline').
Both had repairs done and new parts fitted, but I suspect it'll be hard to keep the iBook running for another 14 years whereas I think the RNP will easily last another 80. Hmm, something about perhaps a correlation between product lifetimes and connectedness...
A clever comparison.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the RNP is not obsolete -- it still does what it was meant to do. ;)
I've still got my iBook. Not bad for use, until you come across video content.
ReplyDeleteAh, very true, of course it isn't :-)

I've always liked the iBook; still open to obtaining one so I appreciate the info you shared.
