Yes, with the memory available these days, you can put up to 1 GB of RAM in a Pismo. You won't be able to replace the battery on sleep without being plugged in the adapter with that amount of memory. I don't know what's the max in a first generation iBook, though. > > B) I know there's some kind of expansion bay in the pismos. What could I > put in such a bay?

You can have all kind of things in the expansion bay: a second battery, a CD-RW drive, a hard disk, a ZIP 100 or 250, a floppy or a SuperDrive. -Laurent. -- ===================================================================== Laurent Daudelin <http://home.cox.rr.com/nemesys> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] C++ /C'-pluhs-pluhs/ n.: Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup of AT&T Bell Labs as a successor to C. Now one of the languages of choice, although many hackers still grumble that it is the successor to either Algol 68 or Ada (depending on generation), and a prime example of second-system effect. Almost anything that can be done in any language can be done in C++, but it requires a language lawyer to know what is and what is not legal-- the design is almost too large to hold in even hackers' heads. Much of the cruft results from C++'s attempt to be backward compatible with C. Stroustrup himself has said in his retrospective book "The Design and Evolution of C++" (p. 207), "Within C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get out."
