   Well that is not fast compared to a PDA.  What I am thinking of is a   
   pocketbook sized computer that turns on the moment you open it.  I need to   
   find a mini-itx board that supports BeOS that also support the LCD panel that   
   I have from my old Dell laptop at first, but I plan to do more research.  As   
   for the boot-time, I suddenly find myself with a free week, and will report   
   later what I find out.
