<br>Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:505809.42471.qm@web83729.mail.sp1.yahoo.com">505809.42471.qm@web83729.mail.sp1.yahoo.com</a>><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-7"<br><br>I got the following excerpt of an article from my mom -- as she says, she doesn't "subscribe" to whatever newsletter this came from, so only has the front page or so. Unfortunately, the author does not mention the manufacturer or a couple of other juicy details, but in reading the description of what comes "standard", it sounds suspiciously like it might be a Linux based laptop. I know there is the "one laptop per child" initiative that is currently at around half this price, but I don't think it weighs as little nor is as small as what is mentioned here.
<br><br>If anyone knows more about this (and yeah, I'll probably search google too...) let me know and I'll get back to her -- thanks<br><br>----- Forwarded Message ----<br>From: Sally Emerson <<a href="mailto:4dicknsallye@aceweb.com">
4dicknsallye@aceweb.com</a>><br>Hi Tom<br>This came from Dick Eastman - a genealogy writer and I wondered if you<br>knew about it, what it really is, unfortunately his entire article is<br>not available to me as I don't subscribe to his entire newsletter.
<br><br>Mom<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>(+) The Latest Practical (?) Gadget: A<br>Two-Pound Laptop<br><br><br> This week I have been using a new laptop computer<br>that is about the size of a VHS videotape. In fact, I can carry this
<br>powerful laptop in my overcoat pocket. This tiny computer weighs about<br>two pounds (0.92 kilograms). It is an ideal system for use when<br>traveling since it is so portable. This laptopĒs keyboard is a bit<br>smaller than standard computers, but one of my touch typist friends was
<br>able to use it easily after about five minutesĒ practice.<br><br>This coat-pocket sized computer even includes more than 40 built-in<br>applications, including a rather powerful word processor (similar to<br>Microsoft Word), a spreadsheet program (similar to Excel), a
<br>presentation program (similar to PowerPoint), the Firefox web browser,<br>the Thunderbird e-mail program, Adobe Acrobat to read PDF files, a<br>complete dictionary on the hard drive, an instant messaging program<br>that is compatible with the most popular IM services, Skype for making
<br>free telephone calls, and even two-way video conferencing, an MP3 music<br>player, a video player, a paintbrush program, and a lot more. It also<br>includes a microphone and "voice command" software, a feature that
<br>allows you to control the PC by just speaking to it. (This isn't a true<br>"voice recognition" system; it can only "launch" or start certain<br>programs for you. You still need to use the touchpad and keyboard to
<br>interact with and end programs.) This tiny powerhouse also includes<br>Solitaire and a few other simple games. All the included programs are<br>included free of charge. If I had to purchase similar,<br>commercially-produced programs, I probably would have to pay more than
<br>$500 for software functionality to match what is already included in<br>this tiny laptop.<br><br><br><br><br>The list of included hardware is equally impressive: both wired and<br>wireless (Wi-Fi) networking, a built-in video camera, an Intel Celeron
<br>processor, a half gigabyte of memory, and more. In short, this tiny<br>powerhouse has most of the functionality of any modern laptop.<br><br>Now comes the best part: the retail price is $399 U.S. dollars, a<br>fraction of the price of competitive machines. It also includes a
<br>24-month warranty, longer than most other laptops.<br><br>I was surprised at how easy this tiny computer is to use. In fact, I<br>am writing this article on the new tiny laptop PC.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>-------------- next part --------------
