That reminds me... Busy little beaver that I am, I'm busily at work hunting around and calling around some of my usual component suppliers, hunting down either someone with good contacts at a notebook manufacturer or willing to do single-order or small order (<150) production of notebooks based on IBM's public design. I haven't heard anything yet, but I've already run into a problem. I'm not an EE, or a CS guy. I have *NO* idea how to redesign this board so as to cram it into a laptop. (I am not worried in the least about processor heat; just gonna have to deal with it. Dissipate with a diff heatsink or something.) Anyone know of any companies that're working on this already? Or know enough about this stuff to assist in the work? Thanks. Those of you who are about to suggest I buy an iBook, consider yourself soundly thwapped. My current 'arteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeestic' project is proving that you can turn an iBook into a toilet seat. I hate the look of those things. ;P -prj
