Dom,

As a computer geek, do you recommend crunchy Cheetos or the puffy ones?

Yeah you can just RAM them down.

I just got done using my first external hard drive
A MAXTOR save your life 160 GB for $54 .95 at Staples.
Looks like all my docs , pictures and programs are safe for now.
Even has a reboot for your PC in case it gets wiped.

Any one here ever use the 4 1/2 inch screen Sony minicomputer.?
Damn thing has a 1024 x 700 screen and windows.

Robert,
Are you talking the VAIO Micro PC ? It is terrible. We got it sent to us accidently from a reseller instead of the Samsung Q1UMPC when we first started looking at the technology over a year ago. Because the font is so small on the screen it makes the menus and everything along with the toothpick stylus nearly impossible to use. I would not recommend it to any inspector for data collection.

Jeff, he's talking about http://www.clearanceclub.com/product...AIO-VGN-UX380N .

It got very good reviews on CNET: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/sony....html?tag=also

Did you try switching it from it's max resoution down to 800x480 ?? I know that several of the guys like Mike Larson have done that with the Q1, changed to the lower resoultion to make things larger. I'd rather have the 7 inch screen on the Q1 rather than the 4.5 on the VAIO, but compared to a 2.5 inch PDA it should still be much larger. I wish a place near me had one so I could actually check it out.

It's painful to watch someone destroy $2500!
