[TriLUG] Light, cheap laptops

[Kevin Flanagan]

I have an Armada M300, it's really small, has a "media base" that comes
off and leaves the CD, floppy and speakers behind.

It's a PIII 500, there should be some on the used market.   They run
linux just fine too.

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any
good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
