The Pocket is way different from the Win. It's more a very small laptop, while the Win was envisioned as a gaming device more than anything else, I think. There are no joysticks, just a Thinkpad-Trackpoint-style rubber nub (which I replaced with a "cat's tongue" nub from a Thinkpad 500 from 25 years ago -- much more precise because not at all slippery). With that I have need for neither touchscreen (though it does work in Trinity, to my mild surprise) nor stylus. The magnification or whatever it is is set at 2, so things aren't too tiny, and setting up Kicker was fairly trivial in most respects. I think it will work out pretty well -- though there are a few hours of configuration yet to come. And no doubt -- it's a computer, after all -- the places that will be most hellish to sort out are the ones that ought to be easiest. > P.S.

Booted it on the airplane to Kuwait, used it every day I was there, and didn't have to reboot for months afterwards. Of course, the hibernate file was, what, 8 megs. dep Sent withProtonMailSecure Email.
