[geeks] smallest portable vt100?

[Joshua D. Boyd]

I think that most Windows CE devices will do what you want.  The old ones
with the little keyboard attached are really cheap used nowdays.
Alternatively, it would be a bit more irritating, but you could use a palm
pilot.

Or, to be really cool, you could buy and iPaq and load NetBSD on it and
use that.  Hehe.
