 Before Wifi, I used a Wordpad Z50 on my hourlong commute. I took a
 ferry from Oakland to San Francisco, and had a nice working area with
 tables and comfy seats. I'd use the sync tool to synchronize my
 documents from my desktop to the Wordpad and write on my way in, it
 worked nicely, since it was auto-on. Laptops back then took a while to
 boot. Get to my desk, plug in, sync and go.

 They had a version of Outlook on it, but I think it used IMAP instead
 of native Exchange protocols.

 I wouldn't mind finding one nowadays, they apparently run NetBSD just
 fine.

 That would be awesome, especially if you plugged it into a desktop
 projector and pulled out a powerpoint. It's got VGA out somewhere, doesn't
 it? Maybe on the dock?
