Heh, I have a single 20mb CF card right now.  I'd probably want a
minimum of 2 of the 64mb cards to feel comfortable if I was bringing
a Libretto along with me...

Yeah, the one I had in my office had either 1 or 2 PCMCIA slots in
the unit itself and with the port replicator we had for it that
added just a tiny bit to the size had at least two more.  Been
almost a year since I've really played with it.

Yep, that's what I'd want to do with the Libretto.  I could carry my
laptop with me, but even though my Tecra 8000 is a little lighter
than previous incarnations, it still isn't what I would call a light
machine - certainly not something I want to lug around with me all
day.
