First off, nice review Bill...
But:
"I did not have the opportunity to test the wireless
networking features during this review, as I do not
have a wireless network at home."
That is *THE* unique feature of this laptop line in the Solaris/SPARC
market space...
I would have loaned you an 802.11b access point had Iknown this feature
might not get reviewed otherwise... Heck, a real test would have been
to take the SPARCle to a place with a Wi-Fi hot spot and test
connectivity there...
I wish Tadpole would offer drivers for "legacy" Solaris, say, Solaris 7
on a SPARCBook 3GX... I'd honestly pay $100 for such a driver.
