Dear Listers:
I'm moving in two days, and so, unfortunately, I am forced to leave the
list (hopefully for only a short time). I wish to that all of you for your
advise and help over the last few months.
In closing, I wish the best of luck to each of you in all of your
endeavors. (If yo
Hi, everyone;
My name is Shiva Mayer, and I'm new to this list. I currently have a PB
1400c/133 (which I am typing this on). I've been looking for a new PB in
the past few months. The 1400 is okay, but seems slow (feels slower than my
25 MHz LC 475!!!) and has the industrial design of a brick.

Apparently, if there is going to be a new iBook, it will be introduced on
May 1st at an Apple/Jobs PR event. (I'm not sure what the event will be
called.) That's only in one week -- worth the wait just

Microsoft products have gotten better over the past few years, IMHO.
Instead of "warmed-over", no, make that "still frozen solid" Windows

I know most of the other ones (YMMV, IMHO, BTW, et cetera), but I can't
figure out AFAIK!

Hi all;
Well, I guess if I had more money than I do now, I would be running to my
local Mac dealer... :)
I love it.
I love everything about it.
In fact, I'm starting a "Buy everyone on the Duo/2400 List a new iBook"
fund. Any donations?
Which brings me to my next point -- the Duo/2400 List.

Further to my previous communication:
a) Sorry I misspelled you name, Glenn!
b) The standard RAM (64 or 128MB depending on configuration) in the iB2 is
soldered to the motherboard.

Further to my previous communication, the TransIntl.com 512 MB SO-DIMM for
the PB G4 is $399. If that's the best price you can find, I apologize for
stating that you could find one for $349 in my first email -- I didn't
realize at the time that the iBook needed a 1.25" or thinner module.
