There's a chain near me called Camille's Cafe that offers free Wifi
connections, and me and my PPC'd PB 520 are not only regulars there, but
the manager tells me that only a handful of people have taken advantage of
the connections since they opened.

Buck up little soldier,
if your Ti is doing what you need done that's truely all that matters. 
This ain't some LapTop Fashion Show.
You should see me romping around with my PowerBook 5300 greyscale and 
my faithful Compaq Contura 400C.
The 5300 grey runs system 7.6 and my Compaq is running RedHat Linux 5.2.
I love these old slabs. anything I need to do portable I can do with 
these. If someone thinks they aren't fashionable, well, They are 
right... so what?
see ya,
Jim Oiler

a wacky design on the top cover on an unsuspecting world. The loud custom
top usually gets people to come over and check it out.

You might find me in a coffee shop with my trusty 1400, if I ever had time to go there.
I too would recomend sticking with the 1400.  There is little to gain from making a 
switch like the one you're talking about.

Got a pic of your 1400? I have a walnut cover and am especially proud of it.

I have the walnut cover as well, and a few others (my brother-in-law, the
previous owner, really bought out the store), but I liked the one he had
where he added decals to one of the paper inserts for the clear top. The
BIOHAZARD decal is loads of fun. :)
