laptops

[Jason W Elliot]

Thanks for the input.  What brand is your 7000?  I know a few people who 
own Dells and they seem pretty happy, but I don't know how much they 
expect from their computers.  I think they all run Windows.  I know one 
unix guy who owns an IBM and he swears by that company.  Another guy runs 
unix on an Acer.  I think he's happy.  I'm really curious about this 
LinuxCertified company, though.  The prices don't seem too bad...
