Yeah, we have a couple of Sahara's around here too. The Safari is cheaper and smaller, and uses a Socket 7 processor -- we use K6-2s, which are now dirt cheap. The Safaris we have are quite reliable as well. We have several of the Genesis boxes as well, booting from CompactFlash. The newer ones have the IDE header populated, which helps in stuffing a small disk drive (2.5" x 7mm) inside the box, though heat might be a problem. http://www.fica.com/products/ia/ia.stm The Aqua (web pad) hasn't been released yet. I can't wait to get my hands on that. Finally, the BathroomBrowser(tm)! -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
