Well, I run SuSE linux on my work laptop - so I don't need another mobile
Linux workstation.

Solaris x86 crossed my mind - but I don't need a mobile Solaris
workstation - I have a SparkBook 3GS after all...

Trade - now that's what I was thinking of doing.  But for what?  Dunno.  Now
that I have a U-1, do I need something else?  Wazzat?  U-30, Ken?  I'm
interested.....

My wife is gonna kill me.

It's pretty close to maxed out, as far they cam from IBM.  1.4GB HD, 40MB
RAM, P-120Mhz, Floppy, CD-ROM, 800x600 TFT (64k colors).  Physically, it's
in good condition - minor scratches, missing PCMCIA cover, but no major
defects.  Unfortunately, the battery is missing.  I think I lost that some
long time ago.  Maybe I never had it.  Can't remember.  I'm looking for one
though - perhaps I'll get lucky and find one in my Pile Of Schtuff....

I have absolutely no use for another laptop.  None.  Zero.   The only other
laptop I keep around is a Compaq Contura Aero 4/33 - because it's just soooo
damn cute!
