Fujitsu and Sony announced Crusoe Notebook
by Tatsuhiko Maekawa 03 Oct '00

03 Oct '00

Morning from Japan This morning Fujitsu and Sony both announced the release of the notebooks that uses Transmeta's Crusoe CPU. Of which, many of you are more interested in Sony's Vaio C1. Sony Vaio C1 comes with Windows ME, 128Mb SDRAM (x1), 12Gb HD, 8.9 inch Ultra Wide XGA 1024x480 TFT, 56kbps moden, and the rest of Sony stuff. They uses Crusoe TM 5600 600MHz on 100Mhz system clock, so it's kinda fine I guess. The machines lasts 5.5 hours on small battery, 11 hours on large one, and 20 hours on real large one (rofl!) Disappointing about this performance? The first sales at Akihabara - Tokyo's Eletronic Town - comes on 7th October. People predict the price of 230,000 yen - GBP 1,500.00, without 5% Consumption Tax. Fujitsu one's almost the same expect it comes with DVD but TM 5600 540Mhz. And the price's the same. For benefits of people who understands Japanese (more likely to NZ and Aus.) here's URL: http://www.sony.co.jp/sd/ProductsPark/Consumer/PCOM/PCG-C1VJ/ http://www.fmworld.net/product/_frm-pc/biblo-loox_t.html Yours ----- Tatsuhiko Maekawa [Network Integration Dept.

Re: [Alug] ALUG web site

OK, there's now a (very) basic site appeared at http://freezope.nipltd.net/alug/ which I think has all the basics from the old site transferred across. I'll improve it with some of the snazzy new facilities when I next get chance. I'd suggest framed-bouncing http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/ and www.alug.org.uk to it -- can people do that for me, please? So, the two questions are: what's first and who's first? What do you think is the most important thing to put on the site and who's able to help me do it? There, didn't quite take as long as linuxnewbie.com, did it? MJR

Moving into the area (Red Lodge) and am a linux "enthusiast" in both the commercial (services.. ISP etc.) and personal sense.. Was wondering if the group was still alive, as there doesn't seem to be much in the way of activity.. Simon
