I finally got myself a laptop. It's been many years, but a company has finally made one i deem worth buying :-) I decided on the one that dyfrgi found - fujitsu's p2110. it's happy, long-life'd (~10h), has onboard eth/802.11b and a high-res screen ( 150DPI ). all i need to do is have it exist in the physical, install linux on it and find a way of carrying it around with me *happy steve*

On a more fun note, i get to wear a cute little wearable ECG recorder. The device monitors the last 30 seconds of my heart in a continuous loop. when i press the little red button on the bottom, it freezes that loop and starts recording an additional 60 seconds. it can store 4 "events" of 90 seconds each, which then gets transmitted - real time - via phone to the company that maintains the devices via a little pizo electric speaker when the "send" button is pressed. it's sorta modemy, but without the need of an acoustic coupler as it's not really digital (or i hope it's not. it certainly doesn't sound it).

Oh, and i get to wear it for a month (got a week or so down already). thankfully, it's just an event recorder, not a monitor. that means i can take it off when it pisses me off, or when i need to do things like shower or sleep.
