Here's a quote: "After an initial inquiry, TRUSTe found that because the transmission of user data through RealNetworks' RealJukebox program did not involve collection of data on the RealNetworks Web site, the privacy incident was outside of the scope of TRUSTe's current privacy seal program," said Lori Fena, TRUSTe's Chairman.
People (and the press) have long based their opinions of whether or not someone was worth listening to on some arbitrary, like if they can sing or act or are cute... That's old news.
The new thing here is that our words are being quoted not because of _who_ we are, but because of _where_ we said them!
This may be a first in the history of fame... This could be, in some warped and twisted way, progress. Heh.
I got an older CF-25 (the full mill-style one.) It's the first model, with plastic(!) doors over the PCMCIA slots. I understand that they went to Aluminum with the CF-27. Also, this one is only waterproof from the top, as there are some non-sealed holes on the bottom for the floppy release, etc. There is a very heavy handle on mine, which I use to tie the Eithernet cable to so it doesn't pull out when I trip over it. There's a plastic glare shield over the screen that seems to protect it ok.
I have the 12" dstn, which works well and uses a CT 65550 with 2MB ram, and works ok with Xfree. I understand the TFT CF-25's used a neomagic chip with one meg.
I've yet to get the cardbus to work with a 2.2 kernel, I'm using pcmcia-cs-2.9.12 with kernel 2.0.37. Oh, yah, and the serial port drops bytes, and I've read (on deja) that it drops bytes in some dos apps, too.
Also, the bios didn't understand my Linux partition, kept prompting me to stick in my Windblows cd, so I now boot a tiny dos partition, which runs loadlin. Poo!
I've opened mine up, and all the internals say "(c)IBM" all over them. It's pretty heavy duty inside. It's not just a mag case, the main body is a very heavy casting, with a mag cover that covers the disk and batt. compartment on the bottom, and a cover on the top deck that might be plastic. The HD sits in a jelly-like molded compartment, and is not screwed to anything. It took three minuts to stick in a bigger drive. There's a spot in the bottom for a SO-DIMM, which Panasonic claims is proprietory, but a generic worked for me.
On the good side, I've so far spilled coffee on it, carried it in a duffel with lots of other junk, dropped it down the stairs, stepped on it, dropped it off my desk while running, and dropped it from five feet a bunch of times to scare my co-workers, all without damage (although the black paint does scratch off eventually.) I'm kinda hard on laptops, and this one is holding up much better so far than any other one I've owned. The big benifit to me so far is that I just don't worry about breaking it, or bumping my bag into walls, or whatever.
Apache kicks ass, but it IS slow! If you don't need all of Apache's functionality, don't use it. You might want to look at thttpd. I found that with a 2.2.x kernel I could do 1,000 concurrent connections on my P133 laptop w/ 16MB ram! I used Jeff's http_load for the test, which will throttle down to emulate a 28.8 client. More performance info can be found here.
*P (as we used to call it) was one of my first online experiances... It warms my heart to remember how they would reject my posts for using the word "schmuck," or how they were shocked (shocked, I tell you!) to descover that people were more interested in emailing each other than buying online...
But Sears did have one thing right. As time is showing, networked home computers _is_ the future of catalog sales!

I'm missing something here, did you get a Toughbook? I thought you were talking about the Hardbody, which is a different box.
