iBook returned and operational

I received my iBook back and it’s repaired. How lost and naked I felt without it. Running the contents of its drive through Cosmo (an external FireWire drive) was adequate but it really lacked the great portability my iBook provided. 
 
If you ever want to know how to back up your Mac so that you can run from another drive if necessary, let me know. 
 
Since this was its second repair for the same thing and the APP runs out in mid June, I’m torn about wanting it to fail two more times by then so I can push for a replacement unit…or I can hope it will last another year and I’ll have the money saved up for its successor, making that one my fifth Mac portable (predecessors: a 140, a 5300c and G3 with FireWire).
