This is basically a laptop. Why not a disk-on-key? Actually it would probably be a bit too small and limited. But you can get a case for a 2.5" HD with a USB connector. Fits in your pocket and can store some 40GB. Enough for several partiions for several OSes. And maybe even several versions of qemu. A laptop is basically limited by the size of a decent screen and a decent keyboard. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
