Great news. Excellent work. And nice set of photos. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure that the ghosting is a normal artifact of the passive matrix displays. We don't see it now days because no one has made an LCD panel which isn't active-matrix in a very long time.

At least, I see the same ghosting on all the Outbound Laptop Model 125s (predecessor to your Notebook 2030).

Would you mind posting a link to the Conner drive sale? As far as I know the Model 125 doesn't support anything larger than 80 MB, but it might be worthwhile to try the 120MB. Besides, I have at least one of those Notebooks around here somewhere (though, not as nice as yours).
