Same thing happened to theplanet.com last year. Transformer went boom, fire, etc. Backup generator was allegedly shut down as ordered by the fire department. This is happening so frequently, it should be included in the disaster planning and standard test scenarios.

I still have my POQET PC, which runs off 2 AA batteries and is smaller than the TRS100.

Was too cheap to buy the serial interface cable, so I found the dimensions, etched a PCB connector, dialed into the university network and accessed the internet via Lynx browser. Does that make it a netbook? Actually it was more like a net-palmtop.
