That's exactly what I'm worried about. In my mind, a portable should be
just that -- portable. 9 lbs gets heavy, and fast. By the way, can't you
buy a 96 MB memory card for the 2400, bringing the total to 116?
By the way, what's the battery life like on a 2400?

I agree. The max is 64 MBs (of which on my machine I have 40 MBs), which is
too little to turn Virtual Memory off. Since the HD is slow, VM is a real
drag. (I've never used RAM Doubler -- should I be?)
Also, as I mentioned in my first post, it has the industrial design of a
brick, IMHO. (Well, maybe a beveled brick...) It's a shame that nobody
makes a G3 upgrade for the 2400 anymore.
So, that strikes one off my list, leaving me with a Pismo/Wallstreet or a
2400. Thanks for your help, everyone, insofar.
Cheers,
Shiva Mayer
