[Duo2400] Re: We can close this list now! ;-)

[Larry Friedman]

Apple is no longer selling any Powerbooks that boot into 9, you have to 
use classic. I was more referring to the various System 7 & 8 games I 
have. Although I am thinking about trading my 15" in on the 12" (I 
travel on my motorcycle so much that smaller is better) I won't get rid 
of a $200 laptop either. I am waiting until I can see it in person. 
Although it is 1024 x 768, since the screen is very small its possible 
you will have to bump up the type size in your browser, which can mess 
up the layout of the sites. One more note on not being able to boot up 
in 9, I sometimes have had an item not delete in Jag when I empty the 
trash, the best solution is to boot in 9, toss it and boot back in 10.
