I use my PB145 with my SE/30, and they get along just fine. The PB145, like many Powerbooks, has an oddball screen size, but my calendar app opens up looking the same on both machines. I hardly ever have to resize/reformat. The reason I suggest this particular one is that it's probably the cheapest of the old Classic Powerbook line, and perhaps easier to find. I'd love to have another myself, but I'm finding ANY old Powerbook rare here in Victoria. My guess is people just hang on to them, like Suzuki Samurais. I have a GV Modem, a pilfered 250 MB IBM HD, and am maxed out a 8MB RAM. Great machine for the purpose you described. If you're stuck for software when the time comes, contact me through this list and I'll be happy to help you out. martin -- "Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox.
