There - fixed that:
framed and ready for printing and hanging on the wall
behind my receptionist.

yes but a real issue is that linux drivers are always a year behind whatever hardware hits the market.
What you can buy off the shelf today will not support
a linux distro for quite some time to come,
and a worst case scenario like BayTrail never gets support.
The flips case is you get (like I have) something designed
for windows but runs horribly,
yet purrs like a kitten when you boot a proper linux.
Invariably a year old, or more.

I always thought the viao sliders were almost sexy enough,
but I never had the funds to participate back then.

As for panasonic toughbook,
I brought their sales rep to demo his latest a month ago,
and I showed him how easy it was to boot linux straight
into his machine. He took a foto of that and vanished.
It was a very nice machine, very linux compatible,
but far too expensive to consider (it was a big _lap-top).
If I find a tablet I might spend serious money,
just to have something that fits in the pocket,
but until this moment the n900 remains the only viable option.
