The computer, which has an 800-MHz processor and 128MB synchronous dynamic RAM, is 3 in. wide by 5 in. long and three-quarters of an inch thick. It also comes with a 10GB hard disk drive and a 3-D graphics chip with 8MB of RAM. IBM said it has no plans to market the device and is referring to it as a "radical experiment." The company said it built the device, known as the Meta Pad, "to research and develop technologies that will go into and help manage future computing devices." IBM may license the Meta Pad technologies to other companies, however. -- dep There is sobbing of the strong, And a pall upon the land; But the People in their weeping Bare the iron hand; Beware the People weeping When they bare the iron hand. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
