Digital BW, The Print

I'm no computer expert, but I did get an IBM Thinkpad last week to take on
the road.  I can bring the CF cards back to the motel and download the raw
files to HD and also burn to a CD in case the notebook gets stolen.  My
reservation about using it for PS is that it has a 1.5 mobil processor, and
more importantly mine came with 768mb of RAM, only upgradeable to 1.3gb (for
$600 extra!).  This notebook _is_ a replacement for my office PC, with the
IBM docking station (a real POS), LCD monitor and wireless keyboard and
mouse.  But we use a Citrix server and VPN for most everything, so there is
little computational work going on at the desktop.  I tend to think that for
PS a good solution would be a powerful desktop and an el cheapo notebook to
download files and burn CDs on the road.
