Hi all! I have a problem. I have currently a 16 meg L50 clocked to 100MHz with docking station, 3 batteries and all the normal stuff that comes with it that I'm likely to sell for perhaps $500AUD ($250USD) or so. I'm currently looking for an advertisment for a 64 meg L100 with docking station, power pack, etc. for just under $1000AUD ($500USD) ... Now out of you greedy peeps that have both the L50/70 and the L100/110, is there any compelling reason to upgrade given the $500AUD ($250USD) price difference (and the fact that as a student I'm not exactly rolling in cash)? Currently my biggest problem is X taking ages to do ANYTHING under Linux but I've got no idea how much better it'll be on an L100 ... I'd thought of perhaps putting Win2k onto it if I got it but in reality, short of stability reasons (which don't seem to be an issue for me) is there any advantage to running Win2k on an L100 compared to Win95 on an L50? In reality how much bigger is the L100 compared to the L50 (ya I know there are exact measurements, those are 'bounding box' sizes not taking into account case shape, etc)? ... is it realistically possible to comfortably carry the L100 in one's coat pocket? - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
