   I would recommend the new iBook from Apple.  It's has a 500 mhz
   Power PC processor with 128 mb for it's base memory.  Battery life
   is advetized in the 5 hour range but in reality it's about 4 hours.
   Installation is supper easy because the open firm is written in
   fourth and is preprogrammed to boot unto Linux.

I'd ideally like a bigger screen than that; I'm in the habit of
running multiple emacs windows at 6x10 and I like getting 80 some odd
lines of text in.
