I like the idea of being able to take a Linux machine with me to use instead of having to rely on the local dos box etc. I also envisage using it at work: plug it into the local lan when I need to travel around the country and bingo... I'm networked. The clincher is that my mother has gone and bought a Mac so now when I go on to visit on holiday, I don't have a machine that's even vaguely familiar (or really truly interesting for me - the rest of my family have this strange fascination with Macs but I keep the faith :) About the only thing I was uncertain about with the Expor was support for the graphics chipset (CT65545). Apart from that the machine looks good on paper but no-one seems to know about it. Maybe it's not as good as it reads. I haven't actually seen the beast - only read about it.
