I love my PowerBook 2000. It has style. However, I don't know what you mean with "made of metal". I mean, the case is all made of plastic. I don't know which kind of plastic, but plastic anyway. The is definitely a frame inside that is probably made of some metal (magnesium?), but I don't think that the PowerBook 2000 has more metal than the iBook. Now, does it feel sturdier than the iBook? I don't know, I never had the latest iBook in my hands... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] field servoid [play on `android'] /fee'ld ser'voyd/ n.: Representative of a field service organization (see field circus).
