This is just a first step. The laptop gives me more mobility (WLAN), less noise
and less power consumption (A recent measurement showed me that the PCs the boys
are using need 250W each :-( )
I'm also still playing a realtime browsergame (spacepioners) so I need a decent
browser. I would prefer a LinAos obviously :-)
My main Oberon application is mail which is working now with WinAos and finishing
WebDAV which I also should be able to do with WinAos.
But I repartitioned the machine already and it has now some partitions ready for
Bluebottle.

Not yet. But I plan to start this venture now after my WinAos mail works.
And the funny thing is that Norton Antispam checks the mails I download with WinAos
and deletes viruses it finds :-)
What I'm wondering is where Bluebottle VGA stuff is hidden. My first search didn't
show me any files like *VGA*.Mod.
Or is Bluebottle pure VESA now ?

Cheers, Edgar

P.S.: A question to the native English. From the past I know "laptop". Now I read
more and more "notebook". So what's the bloody difference between laptop and notebook ?
Or is this just German English ?
