OK, here's one for you - I've been offered a PowerBook Duo 230 and have it 
on approval for a few days to try out. I'm reasonably clued up on desktop Macs, 
but I'm new to laptops.The machine seems fine except for a ghosting effect 
on the screen. It's most obvious when cast from the title bar of a window, but 
occasionally manifests itself in other minor ways. I'll be using it for
word processing
 and occasional email, so a perfect screen isn't entirely necessary. Is
this ghosting 
normal on older PB screens or is it some kind of early warning of
impending doom?
Also the first time it was booted up in my prescence there was a strping
effect on the 
lower half of the screen. It had been sitting in a car boot for a while.
Could this have 
been caused by  the cold? It hasn't shown itself since.

Other than the screen everything seems fiine. I've run Norton on the hard
disk and it 
seems OK and programs run quite happily.

Also if anyone has any idea of the going rate for this kind of kit could
they let me know.

TIA,

Mike
