True, I know but that is very flimsy. Toshiba can decide to pull
those files off, never know.
Also these early laptops and notebooks had very limited bios hd spec
selections to 3 or 5 types until very recently have flexiable bios.
I think these current notebooks from there still usually needs
external program setup.

Many notebook makers had moved on to internal setup programs long
ago with generous amount of hd specs and at least one user defineable
hd spec. Toshiba moved to this area very late about few years ago
but by that time their support and quality have gone down so it's
moot to look at Toshiba for next portable buying, look everywhere
else. IBM, Gateway what you have that have long term service
warrenty but pass the Toshiba. (Toshiba is queer again won't support
their even on non warrentied Librettos series, these must be sent to
Toshiba for anything needing fixing.) I have not yet seen and
handled a Libretto series but I hear they are wonderful machines but
lets see about that when price is very affordable at least ~400 for
filled out used Libretto 70CT.

Rambling stops...

Anyway back to oldies for now. :)
