New Tadpole SPARCbook RSN

Posted by Hemos on from the sparc-at-the-world dept.

Jon Masters wrote to us in regards to the SPARCBook 6500 from Tadpole. Solaris 9, 4 gigs of RAM and all that - but with the TiBooks and Linux working on laptops, how much do people need Solaris laptops?

    Now for something with real bizarre appeal you need to go for...S/390 on a laptop. Yes folks thats right, the great big clunking mainframe in the backroom running on your own Thinkpad.

    Solaris is for wimps, I wouldn't go anywhere without my portable mainframe system.

    What is that key between tab and shift? This has to be a mistake. Do they really expect any self-respecting Unix user will by this???
    Umm, it's a caps-lock? Just as every Sun keyboard has had since the introduction of the Sparc?
    Don't get me wrong, I liked the Sun3 keyboard just fine too (with a CONTROL there, as God intended!) but you're fighting a battle that was lost 12 years ago, man. Move on!
