Hello, is this group still alive? Hopefully yes... Anyway, as I'm waiting for my Libretto ct100 to arrive from Germany, I have the following questions; I have heard rumours that Win98 install is a bit problematic? How so? My Libretto comes with a floppy drive and a set of Windows98 diskettes. Also, I'd like to do the PS/2 mod as shown by Xin Feng on his homepage. Has any of you done it and are better pictures available than in: http://www.fixup.net/tips/l100/ps2.htm I'm not really sure if I can see the right connecting points for the wires Also about PCMCIA USB cards, do they drain the battery as much as some non-libretto owners claim? I was going to buy the cheapest 2-port PCMCIA USB card just in case I need to connect something to my Libretto. I already have a PCMCIA wlan card so that leaves only one PCMCIA port open, and USB sounds like a good idea...I think...? That's all for now, I hope to get my Libretto next week. PS. This is sort of a (minor) dream come true, not anything near like buying your dream car or anything but anyway... I remember seeing a Libretto review in a Finnish computer magazine something like 10 years ago when I was 16, and I've been wanting to own one ever since. And now ten years later I really have uses for it as I need to transfer long sound files up to 2 gigs between work, home and lectures so I could convince myself that I really really need to buy one ;) (of course the prices for 2nd hand Librettos are nowadays a "bit" lower than say five years ago so that helps too...) -John
