I would rather have a 2300c than a Wallstreet. The 2300c was the lightest Apple laptop ever, and while incapable of running OS X, it IS capable of wireless internet and office productivity work in comfort.
No it's not. The 2300c has no ethernet port, no USB port, and no PCMCIA slots. It can't easily do wireless (though with an ethernet microdock and an ethernet-wireless transceiver, it's technically possible).
If someone made a module to replace the old Duo modem with a WiFi card, I'd even take a Duo (even monochrome) over an 8lb behemoth like the Wallstreet.
As the owner of a Duo 230, 280c, 2300c, and several Wallstreets, I'd take the Wallstreet. The 2300c is a neat machine, but it's DOG SLOW by any reasonable standard (even when word processing). A fully featured PCI-architecture sub-notebook (like the 2400c, which was underpowered and has a low RAM ceiling) would be fantastic, but with the sub-notebook form comes trade-offs. I wouldn't want to give up the power of my Wallstreet for the _slight_ gain in portability that a sub-notebook offers. 7lbs isn't sooo heavy, after all.
Just like the modern machines, the Wallstreet is too big for a coach-class airplane seatYou think so? I never had any trouble with mine on the airliners.... It fit alright on the tray table, though opening the display all the way could be troublesome if the seat ahead of me were reclined. But I'd rather be able to see what I'm writing than have to squint at an itty-bitty screen.
