My problem is that its mass storage device is 2M non-volative ram. How reliable is this. Can I trust 2 weeks worth of library notes to still be there after 2 weeks. If anyone knows anything else particularly good or bad about the nec notebook (or competitors in the notebook world for under 1K, the DAK price on this machine) I would appreciate hearing about it. As always, thanks in advance Neal -- Neal Beck Dept of Politcal Science, UCSD beck@ucsd.edu Dislaimer: The Regents pay me (a bit!) to distribute my opinions.
