I'm trying to decide if a 2400 will do the job for me.  I love my little duo
230 which I basically use as a "PDA" replacement-calendar software, light
word processing and email, etc.  I'm trying to find out if I can "get away"
with using a PB2400 as my main computer for work (I have a iMac DV at home
and currently a 6100 at work).  The small size and light weight are great.
I basically take my duo everywhere with me when I'm on the job.  I use my
work computer for the following things. 1.  A lot of word processing.  2.
Calendar and contacts program  3.  a lot of email.  4.  A good bit of
browsing the internet.  In pondering this purchase I have the following
questions. How big a deal is the small screen?  How big a deal is the small
keyboard?  Are the keyboard replacements available a lot better for word
processing than the original keyboard?  How important is the 80 meg ram
barrier?  Since it doesn't come with an internal modem how "mobile" is it in
terms of the internet?  Is it possible to use a cable modem with it?  Or
should I just spring for the extra money (and weight) and buy and iBook?
