I run a 2400 in canada. You will have to buy it now from the US via ebay or used ads
in O'Grady or Powerbook Central. I got it from a small dealer in darrest missassauga
who does private importing. Opposed to the iBook it is slower (but there is still
asupply of G3 upgrades if you move fast), notably lighter (I will always want the
lightest option - it really matters if you really want a portable), and for me it is
just about the ideal
portable.
