...through the scanner, and his briefcase was searched, and His Eminence started to give off anger fumes. He sighed deeply and shook his head at the insanity of it all. But the woman scanning the shoes saw something, and a couple of colleagues came over to peer at the screen. And the Pasha seemed to lose it right there, and when a security guy told him to boot up his laptop, he said, "Boot it up yourself," and tossed in a common vulgarity.

Reasonably lightweight (about 2 kg), with a 20-GB hard drive and an 800-MHz Pentium III processor, the TravelNote looks and performs like a normal laptop computer. The screen, however, swivels around and folds back over the keyboard, creating a writing slate. A stylus serves as both a pen for note taking, and as a mouse for operating programs. Using the machine's built-in Wi-Fi (wireless-fidelity) link, for example, you can write a URL into the Internet Explorer browser...
