[Duo2400] PowerBook 2400 craze in Japan

[Ralph Mawyer]

Chris, the 2400 was pretty much created for the Japanese market and 
only a few machines were actually sold in the states.  How many is a 
few?....we'd all like to know.

While mac2400 has links to a few of the original Japanse sites, like 
everything else, the web changes over time. With a little help from 
Google and Babelfish you probably can deduce the activity level over 
there.  All the neat upgrades definitely came from there, e.g., 
keyboards, 96MB DIMMs, Interware G3, etc.

The latest rumors of the 1" thick, G4/12" with PC card slot and 2GB 
memory limit have me all spun up again...I expect folks in Japan will 
find it just as appealing.

We use to have a few listers in Japan, maybe they'll speak-up.

Cheers...
