However, it also uses.NET. That DOES require at least 2000. Now, I don't know why they have GDI+ for NT4, Win98, and ME, because (I thought) the only things using GDI+ were.NET apps...
Myself, I'd like an SFF with a handle. If I've got an SFF, I'm going to move it around a fair bit. Now, maybe the handle could be in a recess (that'll just make the case taller, though, so there's room for a recess), or even removable.
If you want to print out your old pr0n, just print it on any printer. As it's ASCII, any text editor should be able to take it, and LPT1: should take it straight on DOS or Windows ("copy newsgrouppr0n.txt lpt1" - this assumes your printer plugs into a parallel port, it'll be com1-com4 if it's serial, and usb001-usb??? if it's USB (don't know if the USB one will work)). On Linux, use a2ps, and send the result to the printer.
RTFP. It's not for a keyboard - it's to use it as a printer (so that he can print e-mails to it, as if they were typed from the keyboard). I agree that the simplest solution is to use a printing typewriter (heck, I had one, and it even had a serial-to-parallel box for those whose systems only had serial ports), and use a USB-to-parallel adaptor (unless he THOUGHT USB was required, but has a parallel port on the PC he's using, in which case he can just use that). He'll want to add the printer as a "Generic" brand "Generic / Text Only" if he's on Windows (I've also got choices for a 9pin and 24pin generic dot matrix, and a "color printer" and an imagesetter (the last two are from MS Publisher)). On Linux, he can probably get away with just routing text to the port (Linux box isn't running right now, so I can't play with it).
Pagewidener (seems accidental, FWIW), maybe? I'm using 7.6P4c, so I simply set it to "Fit to width" (AKA Medium Screen Rendering), and it's perfectly readable.

I'm not saying that I'd USE a modem, I'm just saying that a modem is something the average person who would buy this laptop would want. After all, how else are they going to get on their dial-up with what's on this laptop?
Bolding that lets you know there's something in there, in case there's a false positive. You're supposed to go in there and check when something comes in, and if you need it, pull it out. If you don't, ignore it or delete it.
Ah, that usually weeding out on grades part is right. USUALLY. Someone with common sense, good learning skills and a BAD instructor can EASILY pass a class, without understanding it (thanks to the bad instructor). This is the first time that I had a class that I didn't grasp, yet I still got an A- (it was C++, FWIW). Unfortunately, I've got Advanced C++, and most likely with the same instructor:-(
And a decent processor. Notice that it has a 1.1 Athlon, as opposed to a 1GHz C3? That C3 has SUCKASS performance, especially when compared to a P3 or Athlon.
Bah, being a poor kid exposed me to the 6502, even though I'm under 20;-)
The 65816 was a 16-bit version of the 65C02 (which was a CMOS version of the 6502), and it was the processor selected for the SNES, as Nintendo already had experience with the 2A03. Also, you kinda forgot that ARM begat StrongARM (begat XScale, but that's another story).
Yes, I think so. The non-techie doesn't care or know about GHz. He or she thinks that the Windows XP computer from Christmas last year is much faster than the old (spyware-infested) 98 computer because it's got XP, not because it's got a 2GHz Celeron as opposed to a 466MHz K6-2, not because it's got 256MB RAM as opposed to 24MB (yes, I said 24, not 64), but because it's got XP. (I almost said because it wasn't spyware infested, but I forgot - it was an HP, so it had craploads of spyware when I pulled it out of the box).
Not hard to figure out (unless there's OCing going on). The Ezra was VERY limited in production at 1GHz (as in, it was a stop-gap measure until VIA could get Nehemiah out). While HKEPC somehow got a 1GHz Samuel-2 (I'm thinking it was an OC), this is most likely a Nehemiah, an Antaur (AKA C3-M, AKA low voltage Nehemiah that's not quite as low power as an Eden), or a C5P Nehemiah.
Well, this one has a 4-cell battery (doesn't say how long it runs, but I'd guess about 2 or 3 hours - the processor IS a C3, after all). However, note that it doesn't even say it's got a MODEM.
Ah, but the latest Epsons require me to buy inkjet-compatible media, and I have to buy the printer and ink. Why do that when I've got two perfectly good laser printers (one color)? Oh, and Stompers aren't very good - I know from experience;-)
Depends. If you're swapping, BAD, BAD IDEA, NO MATTER WHAT. However, JFFS2 isn't exactly necessary if you're using flash media that load-balances for you *cough*CompactFlash*cough*.
Assuming that AMD's PRs are right on these (VIA says that AMD is way off, and is using unfair benchmarks, which is why I said that), then it should be roughly as fast as a 533MHz Eden (assuming it is the 400MHz GX2 in there).

That reads more like "if you take a bunch from it, it's GPL-like. If not, it's BSD-like".
IIRC, Mono implements Windows.Forms using WINE somehow...
Same here. I forgot to say that I was using that ;-)
Can't wait for 7.60 Final!

Well, if you're insane (or want to try OS X w/o buying a Mac), you COULD use PearPC to run it...

ARGH! Your comment is working as a pagewidener in Opera 7.6P4!
FWIW, I tested with IE (the only other browser on this computer), and it's fine...
Pagewidener (seems accidental, FWIW), maybe? I'm using 7.6P4c, so I simply set it to "Fit to width" (AKA Medium Screen Rendering), and it's perfectly readable.
Or, go the ridiculously easy route and get a USB to parallel adaptor.

What if I happen to need a new CD burner, as I'm afraid to try the one I've got (I think I can attribute it to the death of two motherboards)?

That would be the quick start guide. "man ls" would be the instructions.
There's actually a video of some guy using it on a DS...
It looked like I could do more damage hand-throwing the UMD, FWIW.
