Nifty

The more I use this little poot (a Sharp PC-MM1110) the more impressed I am.

It doesn't have a cd drive, but all you have to do is plonk it in the docking cradle and connect it to a usb port on another pc and you have a direct connection to the hard disk as an extra drive. With a little bit of fiddling around I managed to copy all of my Planescape:Torment cds to the unused D drive, install the game and tweak the ini file so it all runs off the hard disk.

The end result is that I can now continue my game of Planescape on a computer that is smaller and weighs less than the hardback version of the D&D players handbook. Nifty!
