Luca Rescigno at 9/4/02 (maybe): >Also note that the Pismo has an 8MB graphics card.
I've got a Pismo/500 that I bought in April of 2000. At the time I saw it as the final result of a long line of laptop product iterations. One thing that hasn't been pointed out is that Pismos have airport slots and an integrated antenna. Anytime I see a laptop with a wireless card and that little antenna/dongle sticking out I forget that most people don't have that sort of thing built in (except for Macintosh folks). It's been my main machine since then, running every workday for at least 8 hours, most of the time playing music and rending graphics in the background while I work. If I had to buy a new laptop, I'd buy an inexpensive 400 MHz Pismo, upgrade the CPU, the drive, and the RAM and be done with it until Apple completes a few more iterations on the Titanium line. I use my laptop for everything except games, so the 8 MB video card doesn't really matter much to me. Anyway, my Pismo has been solid. The only flaky thing has been the power adapter. =- Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
