While others on this list may have found different uses for the PC card slots in their 2400's, when I had mine I needed it for a network card (wireless and ethernet) and a modem card. I suppose others could get a usb card, etc... ALL of those functions in addition to firewire, are built into my iBook. Can't say I miss the 2400 at all. MAYBE evernow and then the heft of my 14" iBook is a pain, but now that gap has been narrowed with the new smaller ibook. Mark
