>PowerBook 100: 1.8" x 11" x 8.5" = 168.3ci
>PowerBook Duo (mono): 1.4" x 10.9" x 8.5" = 129.7ci

Yes if the Duo was a perfect rectangular prism as the AluBook almost is, 
that would be true.  However for anyone that has owned a Duo, they will 
tell you that the top of the lid doesnt quite extend far enough to cover 
the entire bottom casing, which gives the Duo a shorter stance when open. 
 Not only that, but it has a rather significant curve to the top of the 
lid as well, so the ends are even shorter than the middle when open.  Not 
to mention that the front of the bottom casing is not angular, but a 
perfect semi-circle.  And the sides of the duo are beveled a lot as well, 
to the point where only two small strips along the center of either side 
actually reaches the Duo's maximum width.

>PowerBook Duo (colour): 1.5" x 10.9" x 8.5" = 140.0ci
>iBook (dual USB): 1.35" x 11.2" x 9.1" = 137.6ci
>PowerBook (12"): 1.18" x 10.9" x 8.6" = 110.6ci

>So, the top five smallest PowerBooks are:
>1. PowerBook 12"
>2. PowerBook Duo (mono)
>3. iBook (dual USB)
>4. PowerBook Duo (colour)

No Duo, monochrome or color, is larger than an iBook, in real life.

>5. PowerBook 100

I would say the list is more like:

1.  PowerBook Duo (mono)
2.  PowerBook Duo (color)
3.  12" PowerBook G4
4.  iBook Dual USB
5.  PowerBook 2400
