> but a Wallstreet is my preferred G3 Powerbook over a Lombard & Pismo. Mine, with a 500mhz G4 upgrade Not a G3 then ? The cost of the upgrade alone is probably more than a Pismo. > Lombards and Pismos seem (to me) to be a little buggy as far as their > processors.

Yup, cache failures on Lombards are common, and Pismo processors can be damaged when pluging/unplugging them. But in the tens of G3s I've worked on I've had FAR more issues with Wallstreets - non-booting, battery charging and power management problems - than on the Lombards and Pismos put together. > Wallstreets, for one thing, have two PC card bays.

Wallstreets offer more > expansion options, in my opinion. What expansion would you want with the Pismo ? I agree that unless you need SCSI then the Lombard isn't a preferred option. But to add FW, AP and USB to your Wallstreet you'd continually be changing cards and carrying cards and dongles with you - all built in on a Pismo. We also didn't mention weight and size - the Wallstreets are thicker and heavier. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
