I'm actually considering a switch to a TiBook. <collective gasp from the list> Let me clarify... I'm actually considering getting a TiBook for my 'work' machine (replacing the G4 desktop I have) and probably keeping the 2400c for both personal travel and satisfying my sentimental attachment to the little green thing. =) You see, the old leather Madson Line bag I have been using for almost ten years (started with a Duo 230!) has been semi-retired, and mostly replaced with a huge bicycle messenger-style bag... one large enough to carry a TiBook with room to spare. Plus I have reached a point where I have to make the move to OS X, at least in my professional life. Every time I have test drove the iBook, it has seemed to have pretty weak performance, especially with OS X. Unlike the 2400c, which was damn near top of the line performance-wise when it was released, and was for a short time (after the Interware G3 CPU was released) the fastest laptop in the world, the iBook seems to have been artificially crippled by Apple. The iBook also has some weird ergonomic issues. The hinge makes it very back-heavy and out of balance. The case is kind of ugly too, though a metallic green paint job would improve it. =) I have a few PC Card peripherals that I'm unwilling to let go of too. Granted, I've only been considering this for a bit... and haven't actualy *done* anything rash yet. --chuck ___________________________________________ Want to drop precision munitions on me now?
