Computers for the field

Hi Coral-listers,

I use computers offshore...as part of my job.  If you are interested in the
Toughbooks mentioned below, have a look at this month's Pen Computing
magazine.  Two different Toughbooks were reviewed...one of which is "water
resistant."  According to the reviewer, it does work in heavy rain, and is
also designed for use w/ work gloves, so work w/ neoprene gloves is probably
possible.

HTH,
