Hello Roger:

I use a Panasonic CF-29. Had it for 3 years. Its has a smaller foot
print runs XP and is supper durrable. But here we enter the philosophy
of design. Id rather have somthing designed to be droped 5 feet and
still work than buy three and throw each away when one croaks. In
other words, when ya buy three cheepos you now have a laptop that is
THREE times as large as a ONE laptop. The CF-29 is way heavy by laptop
standards. Get one used and they are very reasonable priced. Im a very
happy user. Heck Im even typin on it now.
