Hi everyone,

I think I may have found a decent much lower cost alternative to the
Soekris boxes in the form of a Fujitsu Stylistic 1000.  They're not very
expensive on ebay (under $50) and they got a 640x480 screen, 2 PCMCIA slots
and 1 bootable PCMCIA slot.  They're basically tablet PCs from about 1996.
