Seriously. That's the point. Every individual is unique and everyone has its own distinctive tastes, points of view, ways of doing things and so on. So what suits me very well can be unbearably uncomfortable for you. To tell you the truth i've always loved my 333 (otherwise why would I have bought it?) BUT, I also always felt a little "embarassed" about it's dimensions. It was too big for me to really be handy in some situations. Now, with the new iBook I have a sensation of - I'd dare say - *freedom* which I didn't get from the Pb. Nonetheless i understand very well that somebody else may not share my opinion, God bless that! Immagine if we all were the same ... We would probably be using wintel machines ;-). In fact I admit that I'm curious, I'd eagerly hear from you, Remy, and all the other friends on the list about what was the point that made you decide to go for a Pismo/Tibook/Bronze/whatever. As far as I'm concerned I chose the iBook II because, as I wrote before, I really was longing for a thin, lightweight machine. I was ready to pay the toll of not having pcmcia and irda because I don't need it and because the features that are necessary for me in order to work/play all were contained on this computer which, and that's not a secondary reason, costs MUCH less than a Tibook, at least back here in Italy were I live. So I can repeat again that this here comp is perfect for me, and I wish I had made up my mind earlier on buying it, I would have avoided all the hassles I went through in order to fine-tune the 333 under X. But that's another story ... Let me know if you wish too. Bye Lorenzo -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
