The G3 power book has enough power to play Austin Powers, the Spy who
shagged me twice on its only set of batteries.  :)

Yes, I know.  Its power management, voltage consumption and battery life is 
astounding.

It is still, however, too damned expensive for me.  Grant, will a G3/266 
with 64MB RAM and an ATi 3D gfx accel run Win95/98 with acceptable Direct3D 
performance?

One thing I didn't like about the new Toshiba is its "Screen smooth
technology".  It looks more foggy than it does smooth.  DVDs come out like
they were played on a 13" 15 yo TV set that had its convergence all messed
up.  I couldn't figure out how to turn it off.

A real nice thing is that (I think) it had video out (NTSC/PAL) and some
type of weird docking interface.

I've never seen it used, but yeah, it has an RCA video out jack on the back 
of the DVD-ROM/net/floppy dock.  AT&T Local Services runs NT on their 
laptops (hurl, vomit) and they can't seem to make the DVD work as a DVD, so 
I've never been able to see it.
