- I stand corrected. The numbers I threw up there were off the top of my
- head. As the proud owner of a new Powerbook 100, though, I can
- wholeheartedly endorse it. It's the first Mac I've ever purchased. I
- bought it to use in my synth studio and it works like a charm. As you
- said, it did seem quite a bit faster than the Macs I remember, but I
- figured '68000 = 68000' so I assumed the Classics also ran at that speed.
-
- The weight that I quoted (6.5 pounds) was for the 140/170 I believe.
