The GridPad 1910 that I have has a 'virtual' keyboard. Nice machine; I just
wish I could find some GPS/Mapping software that would run on it so I could
mount it in my Land Rover... (Or a 486/pentium version?)

The problem with the Sun notebooks (which I'd *love* to have if anyone wants
to get rid of one) is that they're darned expensive and I'm poor. 8^) I
