How old was the episode?

I remember seeing ads in DVD review years ago for one of the 1st portables
(A Sony one with a 7" screen); the company selling them claimed that they
were being used on the ISS. I'm sure it was about �999-ish. Hell, my Panny
LA95 (9") was �649 about 3+ years ago.

Prices of portables have plummeted, there's loads of nasty cheap ones (mate
at work has a shocking Goodmans model). The LCD on mine is (so I thought)
pretty good, but ..... I saw a Toshiba one at a cheapo outlet place
recently; the screen was smaller than mine but the resolution was much
better (no obvious visible pixels), to add insult it was only about
�190-ish!
