A PB170 that still sits in a place of honour on our phone table. I occasionally fire it up for no other reason than to smile and to know it still works and could easily do a great deal of work if needed. I bought it loaded with maxed RAM and the "hottest" internal modem available then, running at a blazing, in them days, 14.4.... A few months ago I saw the receipt, which I kept for the archives, egads, I think I payed several thousand CND for it -- and that was a good price. My wife won't let it be sold, which I actually contemplated at one point. I have a feeling it'll go in the coffin with me :-) Prior to THE book I was already using desktop Macs, but since the PB170 only PowerBooks, which have since served as my primary computer. Currently a 1400c and a 1400cs does it for me and for my wife. Cheers, Rick -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
