But, I wonder if anyone here has had any dealings with a nice little notebook from a Japanese company called 'Kojinsha'. I saw them the last time I was in Japan, of course, running MS-something. They are very compact, but still with a typable keyboard unlike some other compact notebooks and a very sharp looking display. I am hoping I can find them sold with an English Language setup in the USA. (I have seen an European (British?) English Language version. So, has anyone seen these or better yet, tried one? ////jerry > I've been happy with FBSD on Dell Inspirons, although the newest I've > used it on is an 8600 (it's what I'm using now).
