Aha so the difference is found. The wallstreet leaves lots of room between my six-pack and the forward edge of my laptop. Well now all is understandable! On Oct 6, 2004, at 12:22 AM, Andrew F. wrote: The small machines, on the other hand, are quite comfortable to use on a tray table in coach, an

United, Delta, Southwest and Alaska for domestic, United, Asiana and JAL for international. Yes, a Wallstreet can be used, if you shove the base of the computer against your chest and only open the display halfway, which makes for a very awkward typing position. The small machines, on the other h

If I couldn't sell it and it was the only machine I could have, that would be a very difficult choice since the 280 has no wifi possibility, and that is something I use frequently. If the choice was changed to a Wallstreet or a 2400c, I would grab the 2400c in a heartbeat. Andrew On 10/5/04 9:4

What airline are you flying on??? I've never had trouble with any laptop (Compaq, IBM, or beloved Apple) on any airplane seat. Most tray tables not only fold out, but then also SLIDE forward. The Wallstreet fits fine (as did the leviathan iBook 366 I had). On Oct 5, 2004, at 10:17 PM, Andrew F

Before I bought my 17" PowerBook, I got on this list and asked questions. I wasn't sure if I wanted a tower or a PB. As the various opinions came in, I began to lean toward a PowerBook, but probably a 15" one. A few more posts here and there, and I went for the 17" instead. I love it. I wi
