Re: EmpowerBook
If our home office wasn't part of our greatroom, and my wife wouldn't kill me for putting a desktop on the partner desk that we use our Macbooks on together, I would so buy an SE/30 off of eBay and use it for my writing. Lord knows, when I was in college, those were the machines to get onto when you were writing papers or just checking your email from a terminal client. Talk about a distraction-free writing environment!
Re: EmpowerBook
At the moment, I am really rocking out on the 2400c. Itty bitty keyboard or no, it's just so "take it anywhere" portable.
Although I found room for a tv tray set up in a corner and I'm going to play with my all-in-ones over the next couple of weeks, too. It's probably some kind of sin to let a working Color Classic collect dust, after all...

Re: EmpowerBook
I've always toyed with the idea of purchasing a 2400c to take notes on instead of the more weighty Kanga G3 and 1400c I have had in the past, but the 2400c being so thick, I was never able to fully justify it as being small enough to compensate for the pretty penny they still command on eBay.
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.
Re: EmpowerBook
It's thick, but not unreasonably so. It's the same thickness as my Duo 280c, but looks chubbier because it's smaller in length & width. It's no harder to carry around than a "trade paperback"-size softcover book.D wrote:I've always toyed with the idea of purchasing a 2400c to take notes on instead of the more weighty Kanga G3 and 1400c I have had in the past, but the 2400c being so thick, I was never able to fully justify it as being small enough to compensate for the pretty penny they still command on eBay.
