I have to agree with the above comment.
I'm a teacher, and I took courses, and read the books, and all the blah blah blah theoretical stuff. And none of it completely prepared me for what I experienced in my first day of class teaching a bunch of rowdy first graders. Obviously yes, you can learn a multitude of useful things from books, and I don't discount that at all. Eveything I learned did help me to some degree, but none helped as much as actual hands on, being there experience.
I could read every book in the world on aviating, and play with a flight simulator until my eyes bugged out, but I sincerely doubt that anyone would lend me a jet with only that backing me up.
Learning through reading, etc. has its place, and I'm not trying to argue that it doesn't. But it can only prepare you so much. It may help you out immensely. But it still can't replace actual experience.
Yes, because the New York Times would never have an errant reporter. Jayson Blair anyone?
Obviously a big name doesn't equate to legitimacy. Or not so much "doesn't", but "shouldn't necessarily"
It sounds like you're looking for a computer like this one:

Unfortunately not available in North America directly from Sony. I believe it's even hard to find in the Japanese market, which is the only place sony sells it. That's where they're moving all the PDA's too.
I believe they've looked into the PDA's and smaller computers in North America, and the average computer user just doesn't want them. They find the keyboards too small for our fat North American fingers. The general public doesn't seem to be as big on tiny computers.
Unfortunate, because I would love more products like the u101 to flood the market over here.
As a compulsive radio station surfer, I wonder if somehow in my psychotic hunt for a good station, if I happened to be driving by these billboards, could I short them out? Or wreak some other havoc.
I would think that this would also not work at all in high traffic areas, due to the volume of cars/radio stations.
Of course I'm sure they've thought about all that.
After having read some of the comments all I can think to say is this:
That guy in New Zealand (or Australia, I can't remember) who is building the missile has had no problems whatsoever last I heard, getting all of the parts he needs shipped to him from the states.
And yet.... an expat in Hungary can't buy a laptop?
Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture?
I mean, we all know how well the postal service and Microsoft Products work seperately...
So, it's obviously a genius idea to incorporate the two!
Do I smell an all new, sub-par pseudo monopoly?

Wish I had thought of that before I came to China. :P

"Insect Screen O/S" - "Opening Windows lets the bugs in. We keep the bugs out."
Unforunately I can't figure out a good way to make it Window Screen without another lawsuit. *L*
