How strange. I wonder how this would possibly benefit Apple when trying to sell people on the new smaller, faster, G4 PowerBook? Or any other PowerBooks for that matter, assuming Apple's policy is to cripple/reduce processor speed on all demo models (ie. why only cripple the 12"). Especially in a market where competing Windoze machines are mostly gigahertz machines. -Mark ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
