Hi John,

always with the hard question!

hmmmmm, I was thinking about this after the person who inspired my 
question earlier asked about what qualified as a laptop.

I am going to change it a bit, because I can (after all I am the judge 
jury and organiser of this ;-)).

If I can type uname -a on an input device and I can read an output that 
looks to me like the linux program is running there, then hey that is 
the pint winner.

However to make the game a little harder.
The device must be upstairs!

Two classes of entry:
handheld device
mini laptop/notebook/ full on laptop
(one pint in each class)

Regards
Paul
