Dear Gurus,
I've a 280c which I use daily in the dock and on the road. On the
road, weight is important. Thanks to help from this list, mine is a tuned
unit but it is slow with email and my server hates a slow CPU. I use it
for word processing (much) and email (daily).
I can buy a 2300c for about $200 and plug it into my dock.
Or I can buy a 2400c G3 240 (320?) for about $1300.
Or I can buy a Tbook for $2500.
Or I can adopt a better attitude and live slower.
The 2300 c goes in a dock which is handy but is only what: twice as
fast as my 280c?
The 2400 c seems to be less reliable(GLOD), hot, has expensive
hard-to-find batteries and doesn't slip into a dock. Replugging everything
whenever I return from the road would be a major pain.
The Tbook seems to have startup glitches .
Unless I'm traveling to a weird place like Albania, I can live with
my 90 minute 280c battery. Judicious use of sleep helps as do the cleaner's
plugs in terminals. After the first three or four hours, airline booze
makes working moot anyway. I don't watch movies.
I would appreciate your thinking.
Donald McCaig
