The 2400's screen has pretty good contrast, bright and not at all washed

Hi there,
Another quick question for you. How does the 2400's screen match up
against the 2300's?
I just want to say thanks to everyone on this list for their help,
especially Alan. This truly is the friendliest place on the internet
and a great source of info.

That is another issue with choosing the 2400c over a Duo, is the batteries,
while it is fairly easy to rebuild a duo battery the 2400c batteries are
hard to find, short on life and expensive.

While I agree that Majid's needs are minimal, and I don't know
doodily(technical term) about Duos or their market value, I would
have to think a $300-350 2400 would be a great machine with at least
the opportunity for expansion. Heck, I've got one that won't run on
a battery, but runs great on
Paul, I seriously doubt it would ever see the light of day at that
price. It would have to come in at $300-500 to even have a chance in
the limited 2400 upgrade market. And "seeing the light of day"...is
still the big question, before all out batteries die out. ;-)

And G3-up
my vote would be to bargain hunt and pick a basic 2400c.
you might never need to upgrade it even.
All I did was a larger 10gb HD (from my Ti-book) and upped the RAM to 80mgs

That will be great, but that doesn't solve the problem right now and the
2400c is still at least twice the price of a 2300c or a 280c.

Processor upgrades for the 2400c are extremely expensive, if you can find
them at all, so if money is an issue, I would not recommend it, even though
I love the one I had.

The 2400c is so much faster than the 2300c that there is really no contest,
unless you look at the price issue. You may want to consider a 280c instead
of the 2300c if money is an issue, since it is faster with most
applications, unless you need the PPC for the programs you are going to run.
