azpilot: your story sounds a lot like what happened to a CA that I met in MCI the other day ...and for everyone else, NO I wasn't the FO that stepped on his laptop!
Yeah that was me! I'm a nice guy huh... Don't answer that.

For those looking for something slightly bigger HP is rumored to be coming out with a really cool UMPC. Look at these links. There will be a Linux and Windows version. Estimated around $600.00

Otherwise look at all the 12.1" laptops out there. Lenovo X60 is nice. At least mine was nice till it got stepped on!
