Are you trying to move an installed copy? It should have both PPC and 68K installs. If already installed as a PPC app., you'll have to reinstall it.

Heh....MS Office is "productive?" (snide cheap MS swipe....esp. after working w/MSO for years...."features" which are NOT features!!) The 2300 logic is the "do-it-all" logic. It will work with any Duo screen, any Duo HD (either ATA/IDE or SCSI) and will take (almost) all the options (there are a very few that won't work w/the 2300). However, the 280 is still a fine machine and can even be faster than the 2300 (dependant on OS selection and application selection....mine still cranks along just fine). If you can find one cheap, go for it. Look for one damaged, or a cheap one w/little RAM/HD if you have lots of RAM in the 280. The 2300s are getting cheaper.
