Yeah, the bus speed and low RAM ceiling make these mostly useful for typing near a power outlet. Since I moved on to Pismos for my daily drivers, I mostly haul the 1400s out for nighttime typing, just when I want a change from the Pismo keyboard (which is not too often).

If you can find a upgrade CPU card such as CHC has though, that's a horse of a different color...I would think the RAM top would still be a problem, though.

I so wish there was a cost-effective way to upgrade the VRAM on the Pismos...even to double from 8mb to 16mb would be such a wonderful thing. They are so robust in every other way. OK, I digress.

What will you be using your new 1400 for?
