Often the cursor vanishes and then it ruins what I type. I just cannot type fast at all and I am an accomplished typist!

Hello,
Sounds like a problem with the touch pad.
Try resetting the PMU and see if it's behavior changes.
Don"t know what a PMU is or how to find it.
Sry
Restting the PMU resets the Power Management Unit. This normally resolves small faults or behavioural problems.

Click on this link to give you the instruction on how to reset the PMU of your model of iBook.
Best of luck
Thanks so much. I may have to have a friend of mine walk me through all that information.
All you need to do is,
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
Wait 5 seconds.
Press the Power button to restart the iBook computer.
That resets the PMU for your iBook.
After the reset, see if that improves your tracker pad. If not let us know.
My iBook G4 jumps all over when I type!
