[Duo2400] Bare minimum power requierments for a 2400?

In June, I'll be taking a trip to Japan, and I'm not exactly looking forward to the 12+ hour airplane ride. I'd love to use my 2400 for mp3's and games at least half of the way there, and my 2400's aging LiIon batt will only last an hour. No airline power jacks are on the flight I'm on, so tha

[Duo2400] Booting from a Flash RAM PCMCIA card

I've heard some mixed results about booting from Flash RAM cards on PowerBooks. Has anyone tried it? I've been looking at some of the PCMCIA ATA Flash disk cards on eBay, and I'm guessing these would be great as an emergency boot disk on the 2400 that could actually hold a system and disk reap

Why do you think that you need Norton? You are going to get mixed messages about Norton Utilities. Some will say it is great, and all other will have stories about Norton destorying their hard drives. I'll let you make the call on that issue. I can see the idea of a virus protection though. Shan

You can get Compact Flash Card adapters which will allow you to use them in the PCMICA slot and you can still use them for your digital camera. If you don't already have them for a digital camera they are fairly expensive to purchase. Tom > I have never seen one that only takes up one slot, but,
