I really don't have a problem using my Libretto 50ct, granted, its EXTREMELY tiny, having a 6" screen, and about 1.5hrs of battery life with the elderly lithium ion battery that i've got.. there are plans out there for up to 14hrs of battery life.. Luigi appears to have submitted the plans for the 8hr one.. :) Aside from battery life, its the most portable i've seen, and, in general, not too terribly uncomfortable.. only thing i don't like about it, is that it doesn't charge when running (this is fixed in the 60ct and newer).. and, of course, i'm having a terrible time getting *cringe and hide* linux to be able to use the floppy drive. (Yes, i'm "forced" to use linux on it.. freebsd doesn't like my modem/ethernet combo card, nor the cdrom, linux happily uses both to their full extent..) -- - Jonathan Towne wrongway@slic.com - System/Network Administrator To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
