[AG-TECH] Laptops II

[Victor M. Babson, Jr.]

I've got AG running on an old IBM P3 600.  Only 224 MB RAM.

I'm also using a PCMCIA wireless card for it's access.  Everything seems to
be working fine on it.  I've used this install as a venue server, but now
it's being used only as a client.

Been up and running for a day now!
