If you are interested in the CF card as replacement for hard drive, get something like this: <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036DDXUM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1? ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=acleint-20> Performance goes down, and some report reliability problems.

My goal is long battery life, not ‘efficiency,‘ for example for long (24 hour) airplane trips. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
