It is unusual to find one with a bigger than 320 MB HD, so I'd snap that
puppy up!! You can't go wrong with RAM Doubler. I've got Office 4.2.1, RAM
Doubler, OS 8.1, and the latest '040 version of Netscape (v 4.0.8, I think)
{Yeah, yukky Netscape, it may have it's quirks, but it's what the kids were
used to using at school, and the first Duo I set up was to send to college
w/ the daughter, so I just copied the HD to mine to save time.}
As has been pointed out, IE 4.5 won't run w/o a PPC. For e-mail on the
road, you should find the 14.4 modem adequate, as long as there are no
massive attachments.
