Web work is *all* I do on my 2400c and I can honestly say the loss of
montor real estate is not that big a deal. Portability and plenty of
speed (even with a stock 180MHz) can be found in the 2400c.
Having said that, if you need the extra monitor space, Cardbus, more
meory than 80Mb, and even extra batteries, I'd go for a good deal on a
used Wallstreet/Pismo. Just be prepared to lug around 9+lbs.
Don't bother upgrading the 1400c. The memory cap on them is what kills
them in my mind, and the slow bus.
