Still kinda slow even over a fast T3 connection at work, so modem users are probably hurting with all those unoptimzed images and scripting. Because there isn't much there at all besides a pretty picture, can't say if it's worth going on or not yet, right? After all, you will only know after you've got more stuff up. As for potential interest, there's about 800 or so members in this Libretto Mailing List, and many more throughout the world that own Librettos. eg. Just one look at ebay.com shows a healthy amount of traffic for this non-mainstream laptop. Also, thousands of Japanese owners happily chatting away on their Japanese groups everyday (just too bad there isn't an automatic bi-directional translator and repost service....). My site still gets a good amount of visitors every day, so there is interest in all of the models, esp. since Toshiba does have the latest L1-L3 models out in Japan. ---- So, long-term, you'll have to decide what sort of focus and coverage you'll want and if you're willing to spend month after month (year after year for us diehards ;), chatting and writing about the Librettos. While there's a lot of duplication of certain information like specs and so forth across all Libretto-related websites, each does have its own unique focus and attributes that make them enjoyable to visit. In any case, you've got to be serious about it or its just a waste of time if you're gonna drop it in a few months. d =) Everyone else can go visit my new Digital Camera website: Photogenic! http://www.silverace.com/photogenic/ Tips, tricks, reviews and more for the digital camera user! -------------- BTW, if anyone's wondering why the Photogenic site looks so pretty and the Libretto website is to plain-text, here's why: 1) Libretto website is kept all-in-one-page as much as possible and 640 pixel width for easy downloading to the HD or printing for off-line review, and for easy viewing on the 640 pixel width screens of many Librettos. There's only three main pages to download, MAIN, OVERCLOCKING, & FAQ, so monthly visitors who want to save to HD or Print out and run can do so quickly w/o worrying about did I miss something. Other parts are optional, like the pictures of various Libretto keyboards as well as the exploded parts diagram (only needed for ordering parts or taking apart the Libretto). Besides, it's already big enough with all those links to other sites, and graphics would make it load far too slowly. 2) The photogenic website is for the higher-bandwidth, eye-candy users out there who are willing to wait a bit longer to view nice looking graphics (it's a photography website after all!) Because each issue is introducing something new, and hopefully, readers will have remembered the important lessons of prior issues, no point in making it easy to download -- once you've learned something, you don't need to go back months later sorta philosophy. And because it's a making better pictures website, the site itself need to look pretty and all. Designed for modern 800x600 desktop/laptop users since very, very few users in general use 640x480 today - targeting the bigger non-Libretto-only crowd. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
