Kennedy 0 #26 April 20, 2004 I was telling someone four yeras ago how laptop makers should make one that you can flip the screen around and just write on it, the way you do when you sign without ink when buying on credit. Well, they're finally catching up with me. http://global.acer.com/products/tablet_pc/index.htmwitty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigG 0 #28 April 20, 2004 I myself am considering buying a new Toshiba to replace my 5 yr old "Dinosaur" laptop. I am considering Satellite P25 Specs here which is more like a Desktop Replacement. Now..the main question is..do I buy this laptop or a new Canopy?..hum... P.S..I vote for Toshiba.
