Because I have no plans to do CNC (yet), but it's good to know that it could
work if I decide to do so. Thanks.

will run dos / windows / linux, has a decent display
and could conceivably be used as the CNC control PC in my shop. In fact I
have Redhat 5.2 running on it with EMC just to play
with. I also have run dos on it with desknc and have been thinking of using
it with CNC Pro for my CNC controller. It doesn't
take up much room. and with the built in pointing device, screen and ports
all in one box it is the right size for use with my
table top machines.
