paper books. You open them and the paper ignites when the light hits it. That'll stop those goddammed libraries from competing unfairly with honest book distributors.
Manufactured in... well, I don't want to move it to check, but I think it was March of 1994. And I just picked it up a few months ago for 40 bucks. It's a workhorse eight years after manufacture.
I immediately threw a network card and 48MB of extra RAM in it so it competes with EXPENSIVE contemporary printers. And I'm only into it for ~ $110, with network card and way too much memory.
The LaserJet 4 (not Plus) at my company--the main printer--has been there longer than I have--and I started in 1992.
This is what the Libretto COULD have been--an aberrant design branch, that is, due to its lack of keyboard--if Toshiba hadn't turned the Libby into the dwarven Protege clone it's become. If only...
I've been wanting this type of device for years. While this may not be the form factor that the world "standardizes" on ten years from now, this is definitely a step in the right direction.
I'm excited by this device.
Turn-offs: - Screen res is probably very low. (but someday...) - XP?!? Christ! - 10GB is a limiter, but not awful (and not their fault)
And, though I'm a typer all the way, I WOULD like to see some sort of handwriting recognition. Even just something comparable to Palm's Graffiti would be fine.
Docking station for home/office: Cool. Laptop "shell": Gag.
Sure, there are definite benefits to having a BIG, expandable home machine, but I managed quite well for years using only (underpowered, outdated) laptops in my personal life. And the $1000 price point works for me.
And to top it off with a round screen? Suh-weet! That's thinking outside the box, er... hole.;)

Utopia is a situation where everyone has full freedom of choice and people don't die instantly upon contact with the atmosphere.
This too will pass.
Thieves Guild by Iron Sun Games. Highly recommended!
Should everyone in every movie, TV show, poster, book and billboard who used a gun be blamed for giving them the idea to use guns in their crime?
Forget the game manufacturers; forget the gun companies; let's go after the screenwriters!

The problem is, a single packet drop could actually kill someone.
Economy of scale--er... feathers.

Ximian installer freezes about halfway through. I'm trying now via Red Carpet [upgraded via RPM from 1.x to 2.x]. Wish me luck.
my female needs Super Collapse!, Bejeweled and Dynomite [all games]. THAT is what determines what platform she chooses.

Just my $0.02.
