To David and others:
I use the 2400 PC Card Slot to read compact flash cards from my digital
camera. I tried a USB reader and found it as bad as a serial port
connection. I also find the PC Card Slot more useful and adaptable than
any other port.
The other feature on the proposed Son of Pismo I find useful is the IrDA.
I use this every day to sync my Palm and sometimes to print. Things
would be much more complicated for me without IrDA.
In conclusion, I like and continue to use the 2400 because of its size
AND expansibility. It had a daughterboard so I could upgrade to a G3.
It also has a PC Card Slot and IrDA. I cannot help feeling the while the
iBook may be very appealing now, in a year or two, because of limited
expansibility, it will be at a dead end.
