Re: [MBZ] i am nearly king of the pismo (and i have to get my mother one too!)
this is a part of it. just dead reliable and sturdy. it's the only laptop i've ever used that i can actually type fairly well on. the drive slot allows for interchangeable modules or even an extra battery. how many laptops can you actually work all day on battery power? pop out the extra battery and put in cd/dvd burner or zip drive (yeah, i still use one of those). use pcmcia card for broadband access or for compact flash card.it's just darn versatile from a practical standpoint -- think 1979 123 wagon and you have the picture.

it's hard to say. there is just something about a pismo. and i'm not in the kind of rush you are in anyway. On 6/28/07, Sunil Hari <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > what makes a pismo so special to you?

what makes a pismo so special to you? I've been running the G4 powerbooks for a few years now and can't see why you'd want anything slower.
