I couldn't pass that up. I love my Libretto 110CT. I've had it for
about 3 years or so. For a while it was my main computer (till I
Switched). I have the dock for it, which I kept at work hooked up to a
big monitor and keyboard and trackball and 100BaseT ethernet card all in
the dock, so when I got to work I just dropped in the Libretto and had a
'desktop' system. It fits perfectly into my purse, is light,
convenient. I have RedHat 7.1 on it, and Windoze 95. For a year I did
all my software development on it in Linux. Granted it's not
instant-on, but big deal. With 64MB of ram and a 6GB hard drive, it
rocked. I was very upset when it's battery pack finaly died, till I
managed to get a new pack on eBay and once more I use my Libretto all
the time. It's way lighter and more portable than my iBook and with the
Wavelan card, I can work or surf from the backyard; laying in bed, or
wherever.
About the only way I can think of to make the Libretto even better,
would be if it ran Mac OS 9 or X.
