I guess the few left on the list are troupers who just don't have much to discuss anymore.  I confess I've been spending all my time on the Tosh U305-S2808 Best Buy return I won on EBay a while back for $523.  The 110 sits in its dock looking a bit sad these daze... 

Like yours, my 110 sits somewhere in a cupboard. I'm away until X-mas 
but otherwise I fire it up every few months, sometimes together with an 
old DEC 450SLC-e (with a 50 Mhz 486 DX2!) which dates back from 1994 I 
think.
It's that I've got a JVC 741 subnotebook that serves as my daily work 
horse, otherwise I might still use my 110 daily. I only use it sometimes 
for things in my LAN (like testing communication between various 
operating systems).

From Xin's list I learn that there are still people using the 110, but 
more for hobby (trying to stretch its specs or to cramp in Win-XP or the 
likes) than "production" (whatever that may mean).

The archives has our two posts Philip.  And our posts came through pretty 
quickly.  I was surprised, as I thought Dan's list server was probably clogged 
up with spam again.  So the at least the gears seem not too rusty.

The spammers probably found out that traffic is too low to benefit from 
even the microseconds they need to send their junk.

Regards,

Philip
