Hey, there - wassup! I know a lot of people are really attached to their
older Macs (like Duos!), but if you sometimed find your 6400/200 to be
slow sometimes, there is absolutely NO way you'll be happy with a 2300c.
You want my advice? Get current - go get yourself an iBook or a PowerBook
G3. Don't even bother with a 2400 (I know 2400 owners are all part of
some big cult, and I'm not trying to offend any of them!). You won't
regret it - I've played with both laptops and they're both great machines.
If you have any particular questions, please feel free to ask...
Good luck - later!
