I find I have no need for a PC slot. The only time I needed one before was for 1 of 3 things, Firewire, USB, Wireless. Which the iBook have built in. Also unless you go with a Pismo all the other G3 powerbooks have 66Mhz buses, where the iBook have 100Mhz which just makes things run a little faster

From: geno endicott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yeah not till they made the 600/700mhz ones did you get QE. But even without that the iBooks seem to have a better screen. Makes investigating a swap worthwhile. Any drawbacks ? Apart from lack of PCMCIA ? Larry __

From: geno endicott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Depending on the iBook you are also moving into a computer that uses Quartz Extreme, which also just gives the screen a little more detail, things move a little better, etc. I'm talking G3 Ice Book, early, they don't have QE, isn't it only G4? Larry

I used to have a Pismo and a Wallstreet, then moved to a Ice Book. You get the same real estate with all three meaning same res 1024x768. But I find the iBook screen sharper and brighter. It just looks like a cleaner image. Depending on the iBook you are also moving into a computer that uses Quartz

My wife currently uses a PowerBook Lombard with a 14.1" TFT screen which is good (I've used several Wallstreets and Pismos and I like the screen), however I have never had an Ice Book. How do the screen compare ? What about the 12" @ 1024x768 compared to the 14" ??? Larry __
