Just for curiosity's sake (and 'cos sometimes my screen acts like it wants to go all wonky on me) was it easy to find/purchase a replacement c screen and put it in? I like the "privacy" of the cs screen -- except when I and another person are trying to get something done on the computer together, a

If it's an older model IBM Travelstar, you're stuck with the "clack". I have one in a firewire container (used to be in my 1400), and I'm glad the wire is so long. When I'm in a hotel, I have to put the thing on a towel, it's so loud. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and.
