Jim, et. al.,

Airlines pressurize the cabins to a much lower altitude than the airplane's 
actual altitude above mean sea level (failure to do so leads to unpleasant 
things like hypoxia and death).  I don't recall what the standard is (I'm a 
helicopter pilot -- we get nosebleeds above 500 feet) , but there should be 
absolutely no problem operating a Titanium at any altitude in a pressurized 
cabin.

I also travel frequently and use my 2400 on tray tables.  Depending on the 
plane and the guy in front of you, ANY laptop may have a space problem.  

I ordered my Titanium (BTO and maxed out) as soon as the congestion subsided 
at the Apple Store yesterday.  They're saying 30 days from yesterday until I 
get it.

I'm in a PC only company.  The first and last Mac they ever bought was my 
2400. I currently use it at home, traveling and at the office (along with a 
B&W G3 which I bought myself for the office because I refuse to use a PC). 
I'm happily taking a chance on the Titanium and will use it as my primary 
computer.  The G3 will go home to my family. I love my 2400 and will probably 
sadly give it to some needy colleague here, but I'm VERY excited about this 
new machine.

Hi, for all of you flyers and the new Powerbook, this is directly from the

Apple Specs;


Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet 

Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 feet

Maximum shipping altitude: 35,000 feet


since most commercial airlines fly at about 30,000+ feet, does this mean you

can't USE the new T-PowerBook, 

but you can SHIP it ?  Just a thought for all you that think the tray table

size is important.....thanks....JWS >>
