Laurent -
I can argue. There are *MANY* times I wish I still had my 130.. it's built
in serial port, it was half a pound lighter and smaller... I mean come on
I'm no fashion king, but finding cargo pants deep enuf for a 2000 is hard,
the 130 was a breeze! So, no, don't say some woulnd't go back... I love the
speed and all but I lived for 2 years on a IIsi and a PowerBook 140 with AOL
3.0 on each ... if I can do that I can wait on my notes ;) But that's just
me. I won't say I regret the switch, but at times I wish I could go back.
