I'm thinking about getting a PowerBook. The last one I had was the PowerBook 100 in the mid 1990's. I'm looking at The Powerbook 150. I will use it with Word, Excel, Zbasic, a few games and data migration/back up.

I have never used one so I have a few questions:

1. How is the screen? I know it runs at 640 x 480 but is it very useable? Does it die more often than others?

2. I have a bunch of 2.5" IDE drives. Will a 20 gig work ok? I'll put 7.6.1 on it.

3. The SCSI commector is the HDI30. Is it hard to get a cable for them?

4. Ethernet? Anyway to connect it?

The other options I'm looking at are:

1. A Powerebook Duo 250 or 280. Would I be better off with a Duo? Is the docking station tough to track down? or

2. PowerBook 2400c. Are they hard to find? Cost?

As I useally do I would max out the RAM, upgrade the hard drive to the largest practical and buy a new battery for whatever laptop I get.

Thanks!
