There is that computer running a StrongARM that was mentioned here a while ago, looked like a kind of network computer of sorts, then there is Acorn computing in the UK that makes lots of computers running StrongARM chips with some kind of UNIX on them I believe, seems to be popular over there. not sci fi at all, linux will run on it, as well as NewtonOS(though not on anything one can build at home) and WindowsCE (if not now, soon) so it is not a big problem, just a great chip at a great price. bryan In article <m3vhm4mw6l.fsf@zen.binary.net.au>, David Maslen <david@binary.net.au> wrote: >"Kira L.
