And they can be found quite cheaply (around 300$ I think). Of course, if you also want to run a recent lunix version or vista, or whatever, you probably will need something more 'modern'. uriel On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 1:27 PM, wrote: > I'm looking for a laptop that will run Plan 9 native and not sacrifice > too many of its features in the process.
