With memory prices what they are, you'd be a lot better off getting the minimum amount you can, and buying your own upgrade. I've seen crazy stuff like $300 for 128 megs in the BTO forms. Sometimes hard drives can be the same way, but it can be hard to come out ahead if you can't option delete the HD all together (which is rare). And... I hate the 'nipple' mouse. It feels like a teeny tiny joystick with no control. People who swear by them say you get used to them, but give me a good old trackpad anyday. And I want a TiBook! ;) Scott Holder ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
