Indeed, the z50 has interested me for a while.  However, it interested me
as a laptop, or main machine.  (I've small requirements- Squeak and a web
browser) However, I have an iBook, which is signifigantly larger, but of
the same form factor.  I'm hoping to get something that is small enough
that I don't mind carrying it around, but with a keyboard for coding.
