I could replace some of them with their windows upgrades for a combined total of several thousand $$. This would give me no added functionality, possibly slow performance and create some backwards compatibility problems. I don't consider the software broken - but, it necessarily uses bitmapped fonts, and was written at a time when Hercules Mono was the highest resolution out there. > and I might finally be able to use a laptop sitting outside on my deck! > > But that's the point, you can sit out on your deck with a 770.

To be honest, while I've seen the 770 indoors, I haven't tried it outside, but I don't think even the 770 is good enough for my deck - the sun in Hawaii is mind-bogglingly bright. > I think a big issue is whether you are carrying a machine around with you > all day, say in your briefcase.

The Libretto keyboard is too small, or I'd use one of those instead. Does anyone know when the new HP/Mitsubishi 3 pound mag-alloy laptops will be hitting the stores? - David
