It needs a new CDROM drive and I don't think it has a NIC. I've been poking around the web and found that ebay has several Thinkpad 1400s. i'M planning on using the 'festival' text-to-speech synthesizer. Having X would be a plus, not a necessity. One of the Thinkpad-1400s says its screen is "HPA LCD". Two questions: does X11 4.x work with this type of display? Also: are there any other (low-cost/used) laptops worth considering? I do like that stick mouse gadget. feedback? thanks, gary PS: This latop will have limited used, not heavy, daily pounding. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
