Lx Field & Lab gear

[Vincent de Rooij]

As a follow up to my previous message (see below):
 
on the web and in a Dutch computer magazine, reviewers point out that the
parts of the Archos recorder's plastic case do not fit together perfectly.
As a result, dust may creep into the machine and that may mean the end of
the hard disk (or other parts) inside.
 
I am thinking of buying the Archos myself but I will only do so after a 
thorough inspection of the machine. I advise all prospective buyers to do the
same.

really a rather basic portable computer without cd or floppy drives. So,
working with the Archos in the tropics should be equally difficult/easy as
working  with a laptop computer (main problems: dust and/or humidity).
