Dear Tom,
Many thanks for your very thoughtful note!
My 2300c already has 56mb RAM. I also have both RAM Doubler and
SpeedDoubler. Would you recommend using these? Remember, I am
contemplating the use of the machine as a stripped-down "road warrior" and
the main software programs I'll be using will be a web browser and email
program. I'll look for the iCab and the older versions of IE etc. What do
you think of the RAM and Speed Doublers?
Yours truly,
Lewis Coleman
