    Frankly, I don't know why somebody doesn't build something along the lines of a 68040 powerbook with 2GB of RAM, no hard disk, running Mac OS 8.6 and a modern battery. You'd get a perfectly fine laptop for most of the things you really need* and ridiculously good battery life.

    * The big exceptions would be a solid modern browser and QuickTime. I don't see why Apple couldn't address both if it wanted to release such a product (fat chance!)

    Dude, I don't know what your issue is with me signing a post, but i'm not going to change that habit just because some anonynut on /. bitches about it. Try to work it out in therapy.
