I thought the NEW Libretto (the one with the Transmeta chip) uses an AccuPoint like the rest of the Portege family. The only Toshiba laptop that ever came out with a trackpad was the Satellite 30CDT and, according to Toshiba was an experiment to see how well people would respond to it. I was drooling over the Picturebook myself and that camera was attractive but I then found out its only 320x240 (or something like that) - I could import a new Libretto from Japan then buy a 640x480 digital camera for only a little more than the Picturebook would have cost, plus the new Libretto has a bigger screen anyway. Of course, I then got a really old Libby 50CT and decided to get a Dell Inspiron monster in a few months time ... hehe - Raymond ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
