Dell has announced a new laptop that can surf the web and get email without starting Windows, which should make Tom very happy:
One of the most compelling features announced includes Dell Latitude ON, which uses a dedicated low-voltage sub-processor and OS that can enable multi-day battery life and which provides "near-instant access to e-mail, calendar, attachments, contacts and the Web without booting into the system's main operating system (OS)." Dell claims battery life of up to 19 hours. http://blogs.computerworld.com/dell_targets_19_hour_laptop_at_digital_nomads ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
