I do have a dell lattitude whose keyboard is very silent. It also looks like most of the laptops have nice, silent keyboards.
As of silent keyboards for desktops, the ones that came with dells 2-3 years ago were great, and the one that came with my compaq deskpro 4000 was good too. I guess you can find these quite easily on eBay.
Although netbsd has been ported to m68k, it won't work with the ti89 without any virtualizer (quite a pain to code), since the 89 does not have an MMU.
Furthermore, the 2mb are too small to do anything useful, except boot the kernel. (bash alone takes more than 1mb). However, it could be fun to try.
The ti89 will probably never run linux, or any non-embed OS. The 2mb (or so) flash are a bit short to run linux (or netbsd, which is more portable), but you could at least get the bootup messages.
However, the ti89, which has a m68k, lacks an MMU, so it will be probably very difficult to run a proper OS (IMHO would some sort of virtualizer too complicated).
On the other hand, I feel the guy's idea to write a new OS quite nice. It would be also nice to port some open source CAS to the calc, and, for example, make it use RPN.
I would love to trade my 48GX (whose software I like best) with an ti89 (whose hardware rules) (49g+ is nice, but the screen is still inferior).
That's totally a stupid comment : image sharpness is the same in 2D AND 3D, the guy is only searching for a card that has a better image quality. ( and I'm a troll;)
I guess that he might be going to places not covered by the gsm network. However, I think that a laptop is the way to go. And I guess the cybercafe guys won't object if you plug your laptop to their LAN.
Gandi is quite good. The only service I use from them is backup DNS. It had no major problems, and the support is free and responsive. However, I am not sure it can be used outside of France.
Aspell is quite good, but works only in english, as it uses language specific hints for guessing words. Ispell would be a better alternative (supposing it is included) as it works with any language. However, its guesses are not that good for badly misspelled words.
Well, I should have specified I was talking about SeaMonkey.
I looked yesterday or so (before the site slahdotted), and the only xft builds were from July or so (very outdated in any case).
They will still be there in 1.6;)
(1.6a is already in developement)
Seamonkey will be there for still a long time as it is meant to be a beta of Netscape7+
As of firebird/thunderbird, i do not think mozilla will make another composer/irc client.
The two releases have many new features which look good, However, the one i looked for the most, gtk2/xft is not included in the precompiled binaries.
I can easily understand that some people can not use xft, but i think they are not the majority.
It would be just great to download and just have these fonts.
It is quite boring to wait for the 2-3 hour compilation of mozilla to look at the *great* antialiasing...

This one is much better : rpn
It allows to access the menu with the F-keys, like on hp calcs. It's very nice.

You should perhaps try to use a knowledge management
system like Opentext's Livelink.
We are using it at our office and it works great. It allows sharing files, message boards, project management all from a web interface.
We now don't use email internally any more.
