Good Morning, everybody.
 I'm now using 'Fujitsu FMV-5133 np5/w'. This is a Pentium 133MHz
notebook.

 A simple advice is 'Don't buy PC98'. When you see laptops with Widows95,
be sure it's not made by NEC. PC98 Windows95 is widely used in Japan. But
it isn't supported by Linux.

 I used Linux on Fujitsu, Akia and Compaq. I can use XFree86 on those
notebook computers.

Spring has come on Japanese calender.
