Toshiba Libretto...any opinions?

I have a PC which I use for work and serious stuff, and an oldish second hand laptop so I can PPRuNe and watch TV and have my cats on my lap all at the same time. This all works fine, except if I want to travel, the laptop is seriously large and heavy - about 3.5 kg. I really want something small and light; it doesn't need to be fancy or have loads of memory, as I only need it for Internet, emails, simple games like Freecell, and maybe a bit of writing or similar. After a bit of searching around on ebay and similar, I came upon the Toshiba Libretto - about the size of a video cassette, less than a kilo in weight, quite a few around although it hasn't been made for several years, and quite cheap. It really looked like a nice little machine. Perfect, I thought. Well, maybe...but I don't really know anything about them...and not much about computers generally. Anyone know about them? Any opinions?

Now don't you all go buying them on ebay before I can get there!!

Right, I know this is my third thread in a row. I'd forgotten about this forum, and it could be useful. But I'll stop posting new threads now, honest!!!!!!
