Call or fax (no email, they hate spam) Mr. Charles Ho, or James Miu, Sunlite Computronics Ltd. Suite 1130 311 Gloucester Rd. Causeway Bay Hong Kong Tel 2576-2067 Fax (852) 2577-8874 That's how the numbers are on his business card. The 8 digit part is the local number...you will have to be a detective to figure out the country codes, etc. Sunlight is an Authorized dealer for Tosh, Fujitsu, HP and IBM. Their main thrust at the moment seems to be Fujitsu, in fact, I was there today and bought a larger Fujitsu, but I whipped out my Lib 70 and they got all excited! Especially when they learned it packed 20 Gb! If only it were fast, and I had really small fingers! There were a couple of Libs at this address...it is a computer mall. Sunlight did not have one on display, but I am sure they can get it. They are willing to ship, which Japanese companies never are, and, they speak English. Also, no sales tax in Hong Kong, in Japan it is steep. I am leaving here tomorrow, or I would offer to get it for you. Ooops, forget a bunch of that... I just called charles, and he says the Lib's are gray market, so he can't sell them yet, but yes, there are some english ones here...more on that later. He suggest you consider the roughly equivalent Fujitsu P-1000 Crusoe 533 MHz, 128 Mb Ram, 15 Gig, 8.8 screen, built in 56 K modem, external floppy and cd, and mini dock, all for 13,300 Hong Kong Dollars, which is roughly US $1700 I have seen the Libs in a couple of stores, for prices ranginng from Price 12500 hong kong dollars to 10500. I was not shopping for one, so did not pay any attention to the details of language or bundled accessories. Right beside it was a vaio..it was behind glass, and I hnad some trouble reading the model nr, but I think it was pcg c 1 vr bp. this had b uilt in vid camera. coould not see the specs, but am sure they are on line . vaio also in english., for 13800, and roughly 1000 less without the camera. I have converted Japanese computers to run English, and simply installing another version of Windows may turn out to be the least of your worries. First, they keyboard mapping will be wrong. This can be fixed...it can all be fixed, I am just advising of the issues. Also, installing drivers can be tricky, as you may not know, for ex ample, what kind od sound chip is in use, and it may or may not autdetect properly. Not being able to read the documentation can make this a bit challenging. And, of course, you will have no warantee, and buying consumaqbles like batteries is a bother, etc. The Fujitsu, on the other hand, is available in your choice of English or Chinese, with worldwide warrantee. I know, I know, this is the libretto fan club, but, frankly, I would have parted with my Lib 70 today...it is just too hard to type on for me, but the only thing that was similar in size, but with a better keybd was the casio Fiva, now available in English, but quite widely derided as junk, and over $1000 US for a 200 or 233 Mhz chip, 64 mb/ 6 gb, just did not seem worth it. So, here I still am, tyoing with 2 fingers. Some other shops in the mall...I don't know if they had libs or not: There are probably 50 stores there, so if these don't have it, ask if their neighbors might. The clerks were generally very knowledgeable and helpful. Toy tool tech: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Houston Crest: www.2c-hk.comphone 2116-3198 GSI computer... good bet, they had some odd stuff, including a Fiva, which most have dumped due to high return rates...Tel (852) 2576 5139 Fax (852) 2576 5361.

Re: Windows ME.
Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 10:03:17 -0400 From: Ian C. Melville [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Windows ME. Stuart, I tried ME on the 100ct twice (as an upgrade to 98 both times) and on both occasions the install ran smoothly to the end. Trouble is, when it came time for the final restart it would bum out saying something like 'windows protection error - windows cannot start' or something along those lines. Very odd. By contrast, win2k installed flawlessly as an upgrade to 98 and worked like a charm (albeit a bit slow on that 64k machine) but its more stable that you'd ever imagine windows could be on a libretto. One could then practically fill in the reset hole with some grey plastic epoxy since it won't be needed anymore... :-) Ian C.

Re: upward pointer migration
Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 10:06:06 -0400 From: Clinton Parker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: upward pointer migration Michael, My old 70CT did this from time to time. It was very annoying until I found out that 1) by going into the AccuPoint setup in the Control Panel it would correct the drift (I had the Toshiba driver installed, don't know if it will do this for the IBM one). Because of this, I kept a Shortcut to the mouse driver on the desktop and clicked it whenever this happened. 2) I later learned that changing the thumb cap caused this to go away. I think the old cap was putting a little pressure on the sensor thus causing the mouse pointer to move. I believe going into the driver calibrated for this.

Re: Libretto Digest #1354
Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 10:20:08 -0400 From: JB [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Libretto Digest #1354 Just to let you know. I have a Libretto 50CT with 32mb ram, p75 @ 100mhz running me just fine, Only problem I had was the floppy drive kept locking up. I used the 110ct driver for that and now it is just fine. everything works flawlessly. I can even run powerdvd and watch vcds on the thing. Yeah, I know VCD sucks for quality..but on a 6.1 TFT screen it looks fairly well. I have a 20gb ibm travelstar drive on the way. was using the 810 right at this moment. I dont have hibernation enabled as I formated the drive on a dekstop computer with an adapter. Hoewever I did do the os install on the libretto. Took a while, but if you follow the same rules with the desktop...such as disabling sys restore, run msconfig, and clean up all the crap in start up.Most importantly uninstall Windows MediaPlayer (It blows) WINAMP WINAMP WINAMP works fine:) When you install ME look here for some options http://www.theosfiles.com/os_windows/ospg_wme_secrets.htm#setup_switches This will allow the OS to install on our little cherrished librettos.
