Michael,
  That will be interesting to see your 100Mhz laptop. Which distro does
it run?

I've been trying to get various flavours of Linux onto an old Sony Vaio
(333Mhz/64Mb RAM). Its difficult because of the PCMCIA external CD-ROM ,
and external floppy. It boots up from either a CD or a floopy , then
gets to a certain point and "forgets" where the device as and can't read
anymore. I managed to get Knoppix to boot and also Damn Small Linux, by
giving it startup parameters, but didn't like to install to hard drive
from the liveCD as I heard the resulting system can have problems. SO I
tried a colleague's VectorLinux (Slackware-based, apparently good for
low end systems) and that too ground to a halt during install. 
Might bring this machine along to the LAN/Fix-it day if anyone likes a
challenge. ;-)

FrozenBubble - nice! Great music!

Regards
Nick

* Blender - I'm currently going through the online Blender tutorials
