I believe Apple is "scheduled" to produce a 4 pound or so machine,
based on Pismo, 1Q01.
Too long for me -- I and the rest of the office just group-purchased
a bunch of Toshiba Portege 3440CTs and some copies of Fusion. 500 Mhz
PIII runs most stuff decently, 3.4 lbs, 1024x768... add a 18gig drive
and total 180MB of memory, for under $2300...
As for the 2400/duo/accessories debate: c'mon, guys. Both the 2400
and the duo were (repeat: were) great machines in their time, (and
while you could use ethernet and a modem at the same time,) but the
whole debate about "you'll have to carry around a bunch of crap" is
dead. Toshiba and Sony, among others, make tiny little 3lbs. machines
that have anything you need, from ethernet to video...
