Yeah, I bought a 666, er, 667Mhz new TiBook though. The Apple Tax on 
the extra Mhz seems a tad too high to me... besides, I use my 
computer for email, web browsing and network/server administration 
tasks...it is not like I need a ton of CPU horsepower. =)

>Arrived 1 hour b4 I left USA early May.

Don't you love that! I ended up bringing *both* the new TiBook and 
the green 2400c with me on a trip to Europe since the Ti arrived the 
day before I left.

>Decided it was time
>to come to grips properly w/OS X.

Indeed, though I have been managing it since version 1 of the 
server... in other words, over three years now.

>Big,

Yep. I had to get a new bag. The trusty old small-ish beaten leather 
briefcase has been retired. I now carry a huge bike messenger-style 
bag.

>fragile,

I nearly cried on my first case scratch! The finish on the TiBook is 
way too fragile!

I am *really* unwilling to sell my 2400c (green) or my 'spare' Comet.

Maybe I should sell the latter though. Along with my spare parts 
collection maybe. The Green Comet will still travel with me to 
MacWorld Expo though... it is such a geek magnet. =)

I have to figure out how to recreate the finish of my 2400c on the Ti case.

I knew that, and it is ironic as I just got back into carrying a 
PDA... a Kyocera Smartphone (a mobile phone/Palm device.) I have yet 
to sync it with my TiBook. =(
Kyocera should be shipping a USB sync cable RSN.

Mine has no such issue(s).

That is annoying as hell. I plan to grab a chamois cloth at an auto 
parts store this weekend and cut it to fit over the keyboard for when 
it is in my bag.

Not me... OS X all the way. I have never booted into OS 9 on the 
TiBook, and have only run "Classic" three times, twice by accident 
(clicking on a JPEG file!)

I *love* OS X. But then again, I have been a unix weenie, er 
..."professional unix systems administrator" since 1989... including 
some time as a NeXTstep admin back in the 90's, so the transition has 
not been too abrupt for me.
