I couldn't find a price for it, wonder how much it costs. Another laptop with similar specs but a 17" screen is the Time Traveller A770 which costs 799 UK Pounds. Lack of a serial port is catered for by a USB serial adapter, I use a Prolific Technology PL2303 adapter on my Acer 64-bit laptop. The specific driver along with ones other makes is in the kernel and it works with the generic driver also (CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y or =m in the .config. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
