If your Quaderno is still alive, you are a lucky man, Enrique.

Mine falled apart several months after I bought it. First the power adapter,
then the hard disk. I kept on using it, booting from the floppy! I loved that
machine. But then the keyboard started to have problems, until the poor thing
eventually stopped working.

I have found the Palm to be a good replacement for my Quaderno. I can do all I
need to do with it, and take it everywhere. So my Quaderno can rest in pieces.
