I've almost talked myself into waiting, once again, for Rev 2... Al/PB-12" - $1800 Applecare - $349 (This hurts, I just bought a new ThinkPad and +2 Yrs was $132) 512MB Memory - $100 Airport Card - $100 MS Office - $200 USB Ext Keyboard/Mouse - $100(Wireless) USB Smartmedia device - ? $30 Firewire to SCSI converter - ? $50 Other OSX Software Upgrades - ? $500 (Utilities, shareware, etc.) Total - Appx $3000+?; Even if I go with the iBook it leaves me around $2500. Kinda making my 2400/G3-320/112MB/30GB continue to look pretty good. Guess I'm getting tight in my old age, since I spent $3500 on a IIsi in the early 90's and was thrilled. ;-) Ralph Mawyer, Jr. San Antonio, Texas Associate Editor mac2400 ... http://www.sineware.com/mac2400 Your PowerBook 2400 Reference Site "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
