...bring down the energy level, I began twiddling my thumbs. There I am in the clouds, free of all earthly distraction, when I notice that the phone in front of me has a data port. You can send a fax from 35,000 ft. Or check e-mail. The entertainment guide has two pages of instructions, in four languages, and three more pages on the personal video monitors in first-class...
...Breitling Orbiter 3 outclasses the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria--and the Spirit of St. Louis, for that matter. It is a high-tech combination of hot air and gas, equipped not only with simple necessities like a bunk, toilet and desks but also with a fax machine and satellite telephones. The journey began on March 1, Piccard's birthday, in the snowcapped mountains of Chateau-d'Oex, Switzerland.

Each of the Sharp machines comes with a built-in 33.6K data-fax modem and a serial-port cable so you can attach the kneetop to your PC and swap files; or synchronize your kneetop to your desktop's calendar, spreadsheet and e-mail; or copy files to a floppy disc. Because there are no moving parts like a hard drive (everything is stored in RAM and ROM chips), the batteries seem to stay charged forever; the Pro goes for eight hours straight, and the Tripad for 12. Best of all, there's no boot-up: push a button...
