That's more than you can say for a Lombard! It's true that the WS is heavy to carry around very far, but I have a Comet for doin' that. The trouble with the 2400c after using a Wallstreet (14" screen) a lot is that the Comet's screen is so tiny, especially for web use, and hard to get used to for very long. I think it all depends on what you use the machine for and just how portable you need it to be. RF ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
