I dont know if this actually exists yet, or if its still in the realm of Science Fiction as opposed to modern computing, but I have seen in a couple places a computer thats not much bigger than a TFT screen. No keyboard, no mouse and the entire computer housed under the touch-pad screen. Sort of like the ones they use in Star Trek (cough geek cough, i know). I saw Bill Gates using one at some windows hard ware development conference. Anyway, if anyone has any information even closely related to a product like this i'd really appreciate to hear it, thanx

it doesn't, but I appreciate it never-the-less

sounds like you're describing a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

i'm more refering to a 'tablet' PC than somthing the size of current PDAs (like Palms)
Somthing about the size of a 15" TFT screen.

Tablet PC anyone

I just remembered reading about that device not that long ago.
Thought it sounded along the lines of what you were describing.
