Few have heard of this wonderful little device, but I've been hooked since I first read about it.Toshiba's (now discontinued in North America) line of sub-notebooks includes the 50, 70, 100 and 110CT along with a few international versions. You can check them out at Toshiba Canada's Web site.
As a busy professional in the health-care field (hey, I heard that snickering!), I've been quick to put my 100CT to good use in both the community and hospital setting. As for the specs, you can see the above site, but its a P133 MMX with 32 MB RAM stock (plus another 32 added), 3.2 Gig HD (soon to be upgraded) and a nice, crisp 7.1" TFT screen. Oh, and it's a tad bit bigger than a VCR tape!
The 100CT also just passes the bare minimum requirements for voice recognition. I'm still pondering how useful this application would be, but once I try it, I'm soon to be hooked. I've also got a PCMCIA modem, so the web is rarely more than a phone call away!
On another note, I'm also working with the music program Cakewalk to program in some of the music I work on with the various choirs I'm involved with. Using the built in sound system, I can program in my part and then play it back at will. I haven't tried it during rehersals, but it's great for practice
I've moved up to Timmins, but have quite a few contacts in Oshawa/Whitby that keep me coming back down. The 7 hour drive (6.5 if I don't eat) has been made much more bearable by converting most of my CDs into MP3s. Its great to set 7 hours to play continuously and not need to change CDs or try to find radio stations in Kenogami or South River.
On a different topic, I'm also using the Libretto as a hypertext Bible to help with passages and sermon notes. I've only got a few odd glances during the sermons so far. I should also be able to use it as a Psalter Hymnal / song book substitute - once I get down to business with my scanner.
Keep you posted!
