Laptop recommendations

   That would make cents since I'm able to push out 1024x768 on a 12" screen
   the next screen size up should acodmate your needs.  I just haven't seen
   one.

I was at Costco this evening, and I saw a fairly nice looking Compaq
for $1400.  It had a 14" screen, 192 MB RAM, and 30 GB disk.  The
screen was in fact only 1024x768, although Windows (at least) was able
to do 1600x1200 virtual resolution.  I think it was an ATI chip; I
presume XF386 can do the virtual resolution thing?
