- Hey there--
-
- I was wondering if any of you people know any more info about the new
- powerbooks than what was printed in the most recent MacWeek? I am
- considering buying either the 180 (?/120) or the Duo 230, but there is alot
- that I need to know. The problem there is that by the time I actually get
- to see them, there will be a huge backorder, and I cant really afford to wait
- another 2-3 months after they arrive on oct. 19th. So, I have a few
- questions...what is the difference between supertwist display vs the active
- matrix? which is better? Second, is it possible to hook-up an external
- keyboard to the powerbook 180? (will it be possible?)...my designed set-up
- may not require the docking, but Im not sure. WHat I want is: a) color (8-
- bit is fine) ...most likely at 15-16" monitor at my desk, plus and ext. key-
- board and mouse...thats all...and I am wondering if the 180 can do all that..
- Any responses would be EXTREMELY helpful, and can be posted to this group
- or mailed to me directly (that would be better) at:
-
- rhrs_ss@uhura.cc.rochester.edu
-
- thanks in advance for the time...
