It seems to me that a lot of things work on the TiBooks and not on the 
AlBooks. Including the previous 3.0.1 install discs themselves (Anaconda 
problem I think). I had to get a set of burned CD-R's from YDL just to do 
that. A friend of mine has a Ti as well and his install went great and most 
everything works. Conversely my install[AlBook] (just had to make sure the 
v4 sound issues were true) was disappointing, as was expected. No video 
straight out of the install. Sound output worked for me under 3.0.1, for 
that matter so did video. A few months ago I solicited help here for 
Audacity and a fellow with a Ti book tried to help. Same story, his could 
compile and make and run, but my AlBook couldn't get Audacity to recognize 
the input source. The sound issue seems to me to be pretty specific to the 
Aluminum books. I notice that when some people have issues with sound they 
are typically Aluminum book users. And when people have "solutions" they 
are typically a Ti book user.
