Anyone have an iBook G3?

I have an 800mhz, 14 inch, iBook G3 that I got about two years ago. Last summer it freaked me out by getting these squiggly lines all over the display and eventually the display quit working. I found out that Apple had extended the warrenty for G3 iBooks logic boards and that was what failed on my machine. I sent it in, they fixed it free and sent it back. I was quite relieved since I had opted not to get the extended (applecare) warranty and I was past the one-year warranty. The same thing happened to my GFs iBook, which is the same as mine. And now, it just happened again to mine computer a couple days ago for the second time. It's not a bad failure, since you can still work with the computer for a limited duration once the problem begins--I managed to back up my hard drive. Now, my iBook is going back to Apple to get fixed again. I did some net searching and discovered this problem is pretty widespread with the G3 ibook (It actually happened also to my friend, twice). I guess if the logic board fails three times they will totally replace the unit with a newer G4 ibook. The only catch is that the extended logic board warrenty will only cover you for three years from purchase date, which is December for me. So, I plan on working the shit out of that little ibook (burning lots of DVDs) so it can fail a third time and I get a new computer free. Anyway, I just thought I'd share for all those with G3 iBooks and those who may be looking at buying one used. As far as I know this problem is specific to the G3 ibook. G4 iBooks, Powerbooks, etc don't seem to have any platform wide problems like this.
