Tools Used to Produce This Book
Hardware
A used IBM Thinkpad, model 760XL laptop (P166, 104 meg RAM) running Red Hat 7.1/7.3. Sure, it's slow and has a funky keyboard, but it beats the heck out of a No. 2 pencil and a Big Chief tablet.
Update: upgraded to a 770Z Thinkpad (P2-366, 192 meg RAM) running FC3. Anyone feel like donating a later-model laptop to a starving writer <g>?
Update: upgraded to a T61 Thinkpad running Mandriva 2011. No longer starving <g>, but not too proud to accept donations.
