LCD screen, integral keyboard and battery are only marginally important
to me, for the occasional time I want to do an hour or two of work during
a long haul flight. I mostly use my libretto in hotel rooms and customer
sites, when I usually can borrow a decent screen and keyboard to plug in
anyway. The ideal for me would be just a network interface, and to have
hotels etc routinely make x-terminals available, so I could take my
familiar computing environment with me with minimum weight but without
compromising on ergonomics.
If you really want small, have a look at the 'matchbox' PC on
http://www.tiqit.com/
They even have one running Linux online that you can log into:
skaro:/usr/home/digbyt> ssh -l guest www2.tiqit.com
No mail.
The available commands are: cd, date, df, dmesg, du, exit, ifconfig,
logout, last, ls, more, ps, pwd, route, top, uptime, users, w, who, whoami
To see this list again just hit return
Inactivity autologout set to 2 minutes
