[Duo2400] Re: Expanding the list

[Larry Friedman]

I'm relatively new to this list so you're more than welcome to take a 
"who do you think you are stance" ;-). What happens when someone say 
can't we include the 15" and 17" Powerbooks because they are so similar 
to the 12". Its a tough line to cross, or we can just say that the 
machine has to be able to boot into 9. LOL.
