That is exactly what I intend to do in a year or so; Find a good used
R61/T61 with a 4:3, hi-res screen. IT could take a while and it'll be a
while until people don't think that they're worth an arm and a leg but I can
be patient. My R51 1400x1050 should last me until I find one at the right
price.
