Hi, Molly,

I should add:  I had three reasons for stressing the Libretto rather than more
powerful models in my last post:

1.  Size:  about the same as a paperback book.  You can't get any smaller.
2.  Linux compatibility:  I *know* they work from personal experience.
3.  Price:  relatively low.

The downside is that they have less processor power.  The configuration I'd go
with if money weren't an issue:

Toshiba Libretto FF1100V
96MB RAM (the max)
stock 6.1GB hard drive (20GB drives are available)

Good luck!
Caity
