After all, if you didn't bring your laptop with you because it was to heavy, what difference will screen size make for you ? My current H-P Omnibook 800 is getting a bit tight around my shoulders and I'm contemplating an upgrade, currently I think the H-P Omnibook 900 is a strong candidate, but if anybody has any good recommendation for machines in the 2kg (4 lbs) class I'm all ears. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
