139:(Dual USB)" has two drawbacks: The term is not clearly understood outside the Macintosh community, while "iBook (white)" (I've changed it a bit) is clear to anyone who's ever seen the two. Also, the iBook (Dual USB) name is sometimes used only for the very first model of the white iBook series, and that timeline section includes others (for example, the October 2001 revision of the iBook is called the "Late 2001 iBook" in my references, but it's still a white G3 iBook). As a side note, the timelines are not as hard to change as they look, I've now edited it so that the section edit link above it goes to the template itself. Just skip the definitions at the beginning, all lables and links work just like they do in normal MediaWiki markup (but watch out, there are no red links in timelines, the link is blue whether the target exists or not). I'm also copying this to 22: 71: 53: 245:
table unclickable on my Firefox (1.5). If these two problems can be solved, I'd love to reintroduce the table, but I tried to fix them to no avail. By the way, the "glitch" I mentioned in the edit summary had to do with the preview of relative positioning - for some reason the div was 3 pixels lower in preview than in the saved table (though I can't rule out an error on my part there, it was very late). --

This is a minor issue, but in the timeline of macintosh computer lines the ibook labels are not the normal names. ibook should be "clamshell ibook", and white ibook is generally refered to as "dual usb ibook." I do not know how to edit that chart though. Can someone else change it, or tell me why

I replaced the Wikitext/HTML legend with EasyTimeline's internal legend. While the trick with the positioned div was very nifty and space-saving, it had two problems: It created a huge block of whitespace after the timeline, and it also made the links in the timeline that were to the right of the

That's because the timeline is already very cramped, and "Clamshell iBook" is too long for the space it has, and also because I think it is best to note the "official" names of the products unless they have none - the clamshell was initially only known as the iBook, and "Dual USB iBook" or "iBook

It's not much of a hassle, it's just impossible with the present software ;) What could be done is to use the darker alternate colors for the legend instead of the lighter ones (even though those appear first, but that can be changed easily too - in fact, I think I'm going to do this now)

I like it now, looks like everything technical has been cleared up (I was wondering about that whitespace!). Anyway, is it possible (withut being too much of a hassle, otherwise just say so) to put a black frame around the colors in the key so they stand out better? It

as requested in an FAC objection. However, the legend needs the attention of someone more mac savvy than I, to get the names of the hardware lines correct. Please see this template if you get a chance.—
