If you're looking to save some money, I think the III is identical to the IIIx except for the screen. Friends at work have the Pro and III and seem to think the IIIx isn't worth the extra $$$. I bought one of the original CE machines, an NEC MobilePro 400, and gave up on it as too heavy and too limited after about a year. I used it to read email on a couple of trips, and that was fun, but replying on that keyboard just wasn't in the game plan. If Warner gets FreeBSD booting on MobilePros I may have to revive it. As far as the goodies go, get the machine and use it for a while. If you need something else, it will become apparent quickly. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
