[Thinkpad] Re: Thinkpad with a 800 meg HDD?

> BTW Vicky, are you not using a laptop with a 800 meg HDD?

That would be me, 560x with an solid state 800 Mb IDE flash drive
inside and a Viking 1Gb CF card in slot 1.
Not a power user machine by an means but OK for E-mail and totally silent.
Battery life is better than with a hard drive, reliability might be better.
Certainly no moving parts to fail but there is some concern about flash
memory having some finite number of read (write?) operations.
So far everything seems to be OK after almost a year of pretty much
continuos operation.
