It's what I would call a notebook, as opposed to a laptop. This thing
seems to be user mode only. My cousin, who owns it, who works with IT
for the State of Louisiana, and is quite conversant with Linux, Windows,
dot-net, java, etc told me flat out that there was no terminal mode, no
command line user interface to get into the guts of it, without jail
breaking it. There is no keyboard, except for the screen version, which
you tap a button on the lefthand side to access. Totally touch screen
mode. Nifty little gadget, except you just can't play with the innards.
Since it's bigger than a "fondle slab", I call it a notebook. It's about
10" of display. I should have noted the model. But, you control the
display fiddling with your fingers directly on the screen. JUST LIKE ON
TV! I'd be breaking into the SOB for sure. <cackles> Ric
