You are fa more macho than I can dream of being.
If I may ask, how were you planning to put the G3 on the 2300 mobo ?
Can you do surface mount CPU work ?
As for the screen, if you want to do a favor for all duo owners,
figure out which PC laptops (if any) used the same LCD screens as the
duos, so we all have a cheaper replacment source.
