I looked at smartphones (e.g. the tmobile ones etc) & (A) The Nokia was
free & (B) It actually did everything I wanted.....though I was taken
by the "own another coomputer" deep down hunte-gatherer drive
.

I am going to give the smartphones another year or 2 of cooking by which
point I reckon they will be the std PC anyway i.e. more people will have
them as their "personal computer" than the intel 8086 derivatives
most consider PC'es today. At that point the 8x86 will be home servers etc.

All that's needed is a way of doing external displays. I was looking at a
mate's POcket PC thingy & has has a bluetooth keyboard & mouse so
along with USB (via mini-usb) IO seems taken care of.

My mate wants a kinda projector device.....
