Greetings... I've been enjoying the ramblings about the upgrade possibilities for my trusty 2300c. You can bet I'd jump on the bandwagon if there was any reasonable option; we all love these machines because they are an early version of what we hoped the iBook would be: a GREAT little machine (emphasize the word "little"). They're just a little slow for anyone who's experienced a newer machine. I'll probably get a G3 'Book when they're discontinued down the road a bit, just like I did with the Duo! Currently, I'm really interested in the "downgrade" option of putting a trackball in place of the trackpad. I thought the 'pad was really cool when I first got it, but it has never worked reliably. It seems way too subject to variances in humidity (and I live in dry Colo.!), I was recently in steamy central NY, and it was constantly making the cursor jump all over the screen. It seemed I had to be wiping my finger off every other second... I have always loved the trackball concept, I have a K'ton Turbomouse on my desktop machine, and although it IS strictly personal preference, I think they're the only way to go! My question: how hard is the procedure? I've opened my 'Book before, and did a HD install in the DuoDock, so I'm pretty able. I'd appreciate someone with experience giving me some tips on what the best approach is and what to look out for. As always, thanks in advance. Love this list!
