I use the 600s. They are 300 MHz machines that run Windows 98 fine and XP a little slow. They are stripped down - no extra software, no office, no anti-virus, no games, no movies, no internet connection. They do navigation plus PSK31 (ham radio) and nothing else. I have one hard drive with 98 and SeaClear and another one with XP and SeaClear+OpenCPN. I believe I sold one to someone on this list and it sat in Canadian customs for weeks.

My boat machine is a Thinkpad T-42 and travels in a Pelican case. It was the carbon fibre gear to land on the race boat :) Interesting, the second piece of carbon fibre gear to come onto the race boat was the skipper's knee brace!
