I want a machine that I can open up and it instantly runs what I need to do my
work. So, there is no way to achieve this with a dual boot setup. I have no
problem with dualboot, I run OS/2/Win/NT on the same machine, but all OS/es
give me the same applications accessing the same data. While I really want to
run NetBSD on these Notebooks, I will not do that before PCMCIA is in and I
can run at least Lotus's Organizer and ugly Excel on it. Well, I someone
converts my sheets to StarOffice, then I might...
And, apart from that I had no luck so far in accessing _any_ DOS/FAT/NTFS
partition on disk on any of my machines...
