RP,

   Just curious, RP, how much weight are you toting with this unit?

   Despite the comparatively low power, memory, and hard drive space of my
Toshiba Portege, it weighs only 2 pounds and is less than an inch thick. It's
really nice when I need to carry it for a long time. My 1992-vintage Gateway
weighed 7 pounds. I soon came to hate carrying it on trips or to conventions.
