My fiancee has been using the Scribbler SC800 for almost a year, and she finds it very useful. Unlike the Toshiba or Acer models that she looked at, the Scribbler is more like a slab than a notebook. This keeps her from breaking an already fragile joint. The processor isn't anything special (866 MHz), but it is fast enough for most uses, including data analysis using MATLAB. The real advantage to the Scribbler is the battery: the Li-ion battery gets about 10 hours out of a single charge. After almost a year of use, the battery is holding up under daily recharge cycles after a full workday. DISCLAIMER: Neither of us is associated with Electrovaya.
The statement "This page intentionally left blank" makes absolutely certain that there is no information worth reading on that page. Working with engineering documents, I frequently use drawings and specifications that have been faxed or stored on microfilm. If a page was just blank, you could never be sure if:
1) There was some information there, but it was lost in transmission.
2) Someone screwed up and copied the document wrong.
