I have, but in the latest in a long line of PB3400 faults, the CD-ROM died
on the 23rd. It's a delightful machine, but boy is it unreliable. It's now
had *two* new logic boards, a new power board, a new trackpad and a new
hard drive!

I also got an internal zip drive for it - faulty installation s/w (didn't
install the CP despite claiming to have done so), but wonderfully
convenient.

I also hit the sales today and bought a 56k card modem, relegating the 33k
one to a travel modem, and a Sony Mavica digital camera - that's the one
which uses a floppy disk for storage, so no messing about with cables and
slow uploads. Pix are stored as JPEGs, so should be web-ready. Will report
back when I've had a play. :-)
