Perhaps you have a recommendation for me then. I am looking for a small, very rugged, and inexpensive laptop. The iBook seems to fit the bill nicely. I can get it configured how I want for about $1200. I could get a Sony that does what I want for about $1000 more, but it would probably be less rugged than the iBook. > > Cheers, > > -- > Jérôme Marant > > -- John Goerzen Author, Foundations of Python Network Programming http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593715
