I'm a native Japanese. You could easily infer it from my posts
written with poor English.
After living in US for several years, I still cannot sweep out some
errors and typos in my writing.. ;-)

It was fun, really, especially when I saw the LCD panel back in life :-)

Let me give you a piece of advice.
I think the most important step in the operation on a LCD is
cleaning up the glass panel when assembling, because it is almost
impossible to store the glass panel without any particle to stick
to it unless you work in a cleanroom. So you will absolutely want
to wipe the backside of the panel using soft and lint-free cloth
soaked with appropriate cleaning liquid.
If you are prepared to do it, your satisfaction wold be much bigger
than seeing a pathetic LCD having some dark/bright spots.

I like my T20. It can do pretty much everything of what I want
to do on the go. What I would do with my T20 is not so demanding,
mostly making a presentation using Powerpoint, or watching DVD
while traveling. For heavier computer jobs, I use a P4 based desktop PC.

But as many other people say, the keyboard is not as good as it's
predecessors. I also have 770X and it's key feeling is really good.
In addition, moving from 600X to T20 shouldn't make much
difference for my purpose. If I had a 600X, I wouldn't switch to
T20 either.
