>down? Or was the 2400 more upscale when it came out than the iBook is now?

Corina:

I recall paying $2,000 for a backlit MacPortable at an Apple Firesale 
right after they were discontinued (it had once been nearly $7,000)  I 
remember paying nearly $2,000. 00 for a refurbished Duo 270c from the 
User Group Store near the time they were discontinued. I also remember 
paying $1,600.00 for a Duo 2300c when MacConnection was having a closeout 
sale.   In each instance I thought I got a really good deal. 

I remember thinking the 2400's introductory price of around $3,600.00 was 
pretty cheap compared to the price of other Powerbooks at their 
introduction.  However, I did not purchase a 2400 until they were 
discontinued and the price dropped to $1,200.00.  Now I still think that 
was a good deal.

Yes, computer prices, especially Powerbooks, have gone way down.
