     Ah, but you said the current stuff is unacceptable in various ways,
which to me says that you have some magnitudes in mind that *would* be
acceptable. I always like to know where the finish line is when someone
says we haven't reached it. (Usually it turns out that there isn't one,
people are just never satisifed. :)
  
I should be more accurate here. What I mean is that I haven't seen an acceptable Dynabook. But, I do believe the hardware parts are available today to construct such a beast. (plus, I'm never satisfied...)
