If it weren't for the Crusoe and ServerBlade stuff, i'd be angry I wasted my time there.

But then that stuff was sooooo sweet I went back 3 times

Olympus had a pretty neat 4.1 MP camera. The time to take the picture after pressing the shutter was less than a second which is amazing for a digital camera. The best thing about the camera though was the F1.8 lens it had. Very impressive but also very expensive. It was $1099 bones.

A major drawback was also that it only took 128MB Smartmedia. At 4.1 MP I figure it'll only hold 6 pictures

Toshiba also had a pretty neat Sub notebook, the Libretto. It uses the crappy Crusoe chip but the notebook only cost $1200. The main problem with that was it's only available in Japan.

You see the 5. something megapixel minolta? I liked the C-3040 at the olympus booth. The E10 uses smartmedia and compact flash I and II but it's slr and expensive. Anyone win that raffel where u got 2 magazines for free?
