Maybe the banana super flip pad 3000 isn't here yet but today, on the front
page of the business section of the Charleston SC Post and Courier is a
photo of a person demonstrating the Scout2 wireless subnotebook from Melard
Technologies - weighing in at a mere 5.5 waterproof pounds.  It has an
internal modem which he uses to connect to cellular networks -- at least so
says the photo caption...

The most interesting thing about this photo though is that it is being
demonstrated by a PCT hiker.  The photo shows a bearded man in front of a
small tent - sitting next to a pack with his TREKK Glissade hiking poles
lashed thereto.  Anybody know Ron McDonald of hiking (not hamburger) fame?
