Very true indeed. I don't know, I guess I want access to everything when I am not at home. > I don't seem to have any problems lugging an i7500 around, and I swear > that it's _nice_ having something that feels close to desktop screen size > to work on. Not to mention the screen envy that all those Techno-Bill > wannabes feel... 8) The i7500 isn't really that heavy. It's the carry cases that are what makes the notebook heavier than it really is. My 770Z is less than 7 pounds but the ThinkPad case is another 6 pounds. Even though the 770Z I have is only 13.7" but the screen does 1280x1024 and works great for DVD's when I need a break from all that work. =) Cheers, Vince - vince@WURLDLINK.NET - Vice President ________ __ ____ Unix Networking Operations - FreeBSD-Real Unix for Free / / / / | / |[__ ] WurldLink Corporation / / / / | / | __] ] San Francisco - Honolulu - Hong Kong / / / / / |/ / | __] ] HongKong Stars/Gravis UltraSound Mailing Lists Admin /_/_/_/_/|___/|_|[____] Almighty1@IRC - oahu.DAL.NET Hawaii's DALnet IRC Network Server Admin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
