You know, something silent which could sit on the dresser in my bedroom, utilizing the hard-disk of a server in the dining room. I think this thing is my answer. In fact, it seems like a better bargain than a laptop. I want portability, but most of the laptops I have found are undesirable for some reason or other. I want something which I could carry to my university campus. An ethernet jack could give me access to the Unix machines in our computer lab, when I needed it. That's a good thing, because I'm taking a Unix System Administration course this summer. Yes, I need a portable talking "network computer", and I think I have found it! Just how portable is this machine? Have any of the sighted listers seen it? Could I theoretically carry it in a briefcase, with a standard external keyboard and a serial synth? An external hard disk would be nice too, but its a luxury item. I am pretty excited about this device, but I need to do some serious thinking before I spend $500 US dollars. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
