I would say the the code names make things easier usually, when someone says wallstreet, I know what they're talking about. But if someone said "I've got a PowerBook G3 that has problem X..." They could be talking about the WallStreet (PowerBook G3 Series, multiple bus speeds, 233,250 and 300 mhz variants I believe) the WallStreet II (PowerBook G3 Series, 66MHz bus speed) or the Lombard, (PowerBook G3) which had the bronze keyboard and faster features (not to mention USB as well) I think the code names are the saving grace of Macintosh products. How difficult would it be if every computer was named "PowerMac" and had no defining features? Just my $0.02 Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
