There's no doubt that these seem very slow in comparison to newer 
machines, but I still have a few people on beige G3's and there's even
an intern or two on a PowerPC machine, so the expectations are low!
The twin 2300c's have a whopping 48MB...  and it's enough to run Word,
Excel or Netscape, though NS is dog slow (I've been following the other 
thread closely!)

These will mostly be used for remotely editing documents and work like
that.  Without a monitor port, they can't be used for lectures or the
like, but thank Bob I can at least get them on the network.
