        I was never happy with the size of it - it was thin for its day,
but I thought it was much to wide (the code-name before release was
"The Kite"). I had the initial Pentium model, then the 166Mhz
MMX-based model, iirc. IBM felt people wanted the bigger display, and
most people enjoyed having a lightweight notebook with a full-sized
keyboard, but A4 size if about my limit, personally.
        The 240X fixed some of these issues, but the build quality
(especially the screen and keyboard) weren't up to snuff, imo.
