Would anyone out there like to offer their opinions on the NEC Ultralite (the original--no disks of any kind, v30, 640k + 1meg Ramdisk) and the price it is being offered for. I'm really wondering about battery life and does the "Silicon Hard Disk" lose its contents when the charge goes. (Maybe I hope for too much.) Thanks.
