Well, if you come across one when you have nothing better to do than look
for it, please let me know.  In my current cramped quarters, a laptop is
the way to go if I want to experiment with another OS.  I can't take this
box offline because I have to be up 24/7 for my links.  I'm thinking about
(and have been threatening to do for a long time) putting Warp 4 up with
Fixpak 15.  Of course, I'll need a bunch of drivers for the system to work
properly, but I should be able to find them at Hobbes.  I heard that Danni
came out with some updated drivers for Warp.

You can run a laptop without batteries, can't you?  I mean just using its
power suppy?
