If you are interested in ThinkPads and like laptops small (a must as far as I am concerned ... a large laptop quickly becomes an overpriced underpowered desktop for most people) I just read a good review about the IBM X40. Tiny (< 3lbs) but still has a 12 inch screen. And pretty cheap this time. Actually that reminds me. The review I read mentioned a Rescue partition on the disk that will allow you to connect to the internet even if your Windows dies. Sounds cool ... is it Linux? Austin
