Any ideas? No. I went through this exercise last year, and the i7500 is the only system that's actually shipping with a megapel display AFAIWATE. The IBM Thinkpad 770Z was advertised but never appears to have actually shipped with the 1280x1024 display. You're correct though, the i7500 is a monster, and may be more deadweight than you're willing to carry around. On the flipside, apart from the disk it's a very capable system. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
