Why not start with looking at what S/W you plan to run, and then see what advice is available from them (and from other users) as to what H/W they would recommend.
This weekend, the CBC radio program Quirks and Quarks had an interview with Dr. Max Donelan. You can listen to the interview in either ogg or mp3 format at http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/07-08/feb09.html
Also, bear in mind that while a distributor might have the rights for a product in the States, there is no guarantee that they have the rights to distribute that same product in Canada.
Issues like support come into effect; normally, if you buy a product in the States, service for that item are doine through the US based manufacturer, not the manufacturer's Canadian arm.
Some manufacturer's actaully sell different "model" numbers in the two countries with slightly different feature sets. for instance documentation in English & French; not just English..
I've read elesewhere that all this is doing is making use of an Outlook "extension" that, on a regular basis COPIES data from Outlook to a seperate area that the "quick check" application in the BIOS can access.
So really, saying that it's providing "access" to Outlook data is slightly misleading. It's actually providing BIOS data to a "shadow" copy of the Outlook data
Exact same configuration. I was taking a university course to complete a degree, and had the option of using any programming language / system. I had this Osborne and had seen ads for this $49.95 compiler. Bought it and fell in love with Borland and their products.
I nkow they might be a bit large to consider "a document", but all the published volumes of Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming". While probably not directly related to the Internet they still do contain a gold-mine of algorithims, programming techniques and analysis.

There actually is another new e-ink based reader out as well; the Booken - Cybook http://www.bookeen.com/
It supports books in Mobipocket format along with PalmDoc, HTML, Txt and PDF (with restrictions on a few of these formats).
Also supports playing of MP3's
Price is $350 or $450 depending on the bundle.

Out of the frying pan, into the INFERNO!

I have a feeling it will be University of Wales, Swansea.
I'vebrought up Hercules at home and it does a good job at the HARDWARE level. the real issue is that of getting an O/S that you CAN run.
Older versions of MVS (ie MVT) are available, as are older versions of VM. However, these run in 370 mode, not in ESA or Z mode.
I'm not sure about what Linux versions would run on this emulator.
It is though still a good means of gaining some familiarity with the environment.
One possible idea if you're building from scratch is to look at a professionally installed Wiring solution.
Check out the "Home Director" product line (originally from IBM). http://www.homedirector.com/
Let me stick mine up here!

Now we just need the original Sidekick!!!
