This would be mostly for document preparation with Latex. So it has to run latex, X Windows, xfig, xdvi, ghostscript, ppp on an internal modem. It would be nice if it also drove a PCMCIA SCSI interface for an additional external disk. I have the impression that notebooks have their own set of quirky chipsets and the reward-to-pain ratio for supporting them on a volunteer basis would be quite low. So I am wondering what people do. Thanks ---Luigi
