Well the only thing that fits my bill is the old duo I have, nice,
small and good wake up from sleep time and it connects with the Newt!
Still, when I get a job and National Insurance number (May/June) I can
save up, for a car and an 18" G6!

I'm not saying that nobody should buy a PowerBook G4 12", I was just
pointing that the 12" isn't just a smaller version of the 17". I mean,
if it
fits your bill, go for it!
