I agree. The screen on the 280c is also much better than on the 2300. I
think that at least half of the problem with the early PPC computers was
that the OS was not yet optimized for the PPC. Even when there wasn't a lot
of 68k code (8.6 for instance) the software still wasn't really optimized
for the better processor. In any case, I love my duos, and will continue to
make use of them as long as possible. (The oldest--the 230--is being used by
an elderly friend for writing and translating work--she loves it!) :-)
