the computer i had before it was a desktop clone which had a 2 GB hard drive and it had a 185 mhz 040 processor
and even though i had better resolution with the 14 inch sony crt, it was a crt and it hurt my eyes
so the ibook was a great leap forward for me
of course when the 4.9 pound dual usb ibook came out, wow - that would have been a great jump to 500 mhz and a 10 gb hard drive (and dvd, cdrw, or combo drive)
