Come on, Julian. You either want the form factor of the A20 or not! Are you
an IBM person, or not? A TOSHIBA person? Or maybe a DELL person? That's
really what its all about. And that's why you will not find these machines
at the retail level. No one that buys at this level buys retail any more.
BTW, the screen is great (at least on the A20p), and the keyboard is as good
as previous TP's (Iv'e owned 5 over the years).
JMHO

Subject: Where can I kick some tires - A20 ????
I'm leaning towards an A20, but would like to at least get an idea for the
keyboard feel and the display (along with the trackpoint action - I saw
someone's Tosh last week where the trackpoint was hyperactive and almost
unusable)?
No go at Staples or Office Max. IBM website doesn't show dealers, and a
web search on thinkpad retailer turned up one outfit in San Francisco :-(
I'd really rather not travel to NYC but Rochester or Syracuse is doable.
