All I really need is 10.4" now, since my desktop is a 12" CRT, everything seems like the right size to me. And on my SPARCbook, it's 10.4" TFT is great, and I don't think it's too small, either. I was looking at one of the cheapo clone notebooks at a store at the mall this weekend with a 14.1" TFT, and it was nice, but I still prefer my 10.4" LCDs for now. The worst part of those if I had one, is how I'd fit it in my backpacks... >I'll add that I was disappointed to hear that the 600 is going to be >strangely heavy.

I liked the keyboard, since all the keys are where they're supposed to be, not in some funny location like on other major manafacturers' notebooks, and even the clones. I worked on a Gateway Solo a few months ago, and that was the WORST keyboard I have seen - flimsy, small keys, and keys is unusual places. -- Paul Khoury <pkhoury@loop.com> http://pkhoury.dyn.ml.org Sent from my ThinkPad 701CS running OS/2 Warp 4.0, Fixpack 5 There are 22 Processes with 86 Threads.
