interesting to test my 2300c.

Due to size limitations, Apple probably could not fit
an intelligent modem inside the Duo.

Yep, you can get a hell of a lot more for your money
buying a used PC, but it's just fun messing around
with the Duo- It's fun seeing what you can still do
with older technology, and they're so darn cute! A lot
of the older applications work just fine for my needs.
100 MHz processors are still darn fast compared to my
old Commodore VIC-20 running at probably less than 2
MHz, or even my original 4.77 MHz IBM PC! (Why didn't
I sell it 15 years ago?)
