Hear, hear!   I lug a ThunkPad 240 (4 lbs w/big batt) just to have a 
subnotebook w/56K and ethernet.  Having to put up with Windoze is a pain, but 
it works, sort of.  The 2300 I have just finished redoing will handle the 
Mac-centric chores, but slowly.  

Wonder if Apple has spoken with anyone at Sony in ref. to a Vaio w/RISC and 
Apple OS?  As Wintel hardware has moved towards a commonality point 
(PCI/FireWire/USB/IDE) with the Mac, it can't be THAT hard to take a Wintel 
platform and G3 or G4 it, as much of the substructure of the laptop will be 
the same.  New drivers, yup, but just a new CPU and glue chips, all things in 
existance today.  Imagine a Vaio with a truely SUPERIOR OS on it!  OSX 
anyone?  LINUX is good, but still a bit too technical for the run-of-the-mill 
computer user.  OSX hopefully with cover both sets of bases (no, haven't 
played with it yet.)
