Personally I don't think we should include the 12 Powerbook in this
list.
What makes this list special is the fact that it's only for duo and
2400 owners and lovers. The 12 Powerbook basically isn't that
different from the 17 (a little, but not much), and if we include it,
we may as well

Duo/2400 List, The
From: Ralph Mawyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003
I've almost talked myself into waiting, once again, for Rev 2...
Al/PB-12 - $1800
Applecare - $349 (This hurts, I just bought a new
ThinkPad and +2 Yrs was $132)
512MB Memory - $100
Airport Card - $100
MS Office - $200
Just curious, in view of all the problems that 5300's had and the
repair/trade -in programs offered as a result why hasn't Apple taken a
similar approach to 2400's? The GLOD symptom definitely is a very inherent
design defect and is as bad or worse than anything (other than flaming
batteries)
