Nope. There is a backup battery in PBs... you did know that right? It allows for hot swapping for up to 20 secs I believe.
 
its like 2-3 mins but that only in the 15 and 17 inch powerbooks since there is no room for it in the 12"

but i know for a fact they do not have it in the ibooks since its "consumer"

Edit :

I just did it and my computer went down.

Hmm weird, I'll try it again later. Maybe I did have it plugged in but forgot.
