ok, so what is the comparable PC notebook that is NEW, in the pentium
120 class,
has a active matrix 800x600 LCD, sound, and oh by the way, has
any_way_near
the build quality of the 1400 for less than 2k?

Some of us only need a good, moble wp, and email machine for the road.
I would
suggest that for this application, that the 1400c might be a pretty good
deal.  Not
to mention that the construction, materials, and keyboard are from
everything I've
read, better than the 3400(not that the 3400 is bad).
