Responding to a bunch of posts...

I do have a Lucent card, so wireless for the Lombard isn't an issue. (I could also pull the Airport out of my Sawtoth and put that in the Pismo.) PCMCIA SCSI for the Mac always seemed like a pricey affair, though I do have both the Adaptec and Xircom USB SCSI adapters already.

I do have to agree with jt and mcdermd on the OldWorld charm of a Wallstreet. I used to have a nice PDQ that I had rebuilt, but ended up giving to someone who desparately needed a laptop.

I think my desire to get rid of one of the laptops comes from a desire to minimize the number of "idle" computers that I have. One for Classic, I can justify, the other I can't.

Judging from the ranges of responses, I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who is conflicted on this issue. Oddly, one thing that is making me lean toward keeping the Pismo is FireWire TDM since I could use that transfer files from a newer Mac whereas the Lombard would probably be Zip 250 all the way.

Thanks for the thoughts; feel free to keep them coming in.
