[OB] My $.02 's worth.

[Andrew Lovell]

Hi

I would like to thank Reed Turner and Christopher Erickson for their 
advice. I will go straight down to the computer shop and get a 
Cardbus / USB card.

The help given by members of the Omnibook list is quite invaluable. 
When the web site comes alive again, I will have to download all the 
manuals, so I can "upgrade" to Win98SE or Ubuntu and use the USB card.

"Modern" laptops may be OK, but the keyboard and form factor have 
allowed me to work with my 600 on shaky regional trains. This is 
worth much more than fancy graphics and ability to use the latest windoze GUI.

Yours

Andrew Lovell
