I'm typing this e-mail on a DELL Inspiron 82000 - relatively old but still a good mobile to work with. It supports ACPI, PCMCIA and much more and is on eB.. for muss less than a modern notebook. In combination with the 2.4 GHz processor, 1GB RAM and the 7K60 (or 7K100) it still rocks! Regards, Marc
