-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK, <exasperated sigh>, I have to ask this: Are there any laptops out there WHICH DO NOT SUCK??! This is very frustrating. It seems as though, no matter what I choose, I will be making a potentially huge mistake. So, this is why I buy nothing. BTW, in the Linux and BSD wireless world a few years ago there was a general consensus that ThinkPads were amazing/fantastic/perfect machines. They were considered the most "road-worthy" and I saw BAWUG guys walking around carrying their open ThinkPads around by the LCD, casually throwing them around like a roadie throws around an SM58, with no ill effects. I had a couple for years (a used 600 and a used 600E) and I just beat the piss out of them. Even though they were made in Italy, I found them to be like the BMW's of laptops. They were engineered to be abused. But, I don't recall hearing a peep about ThinkPads from this group, which leads me to wonder if perhaps they are not suited for audio for some reason or another? Maybe they don't have the latest/greatest dual-core CPU's on them yet? Or maybe IBM's installation of "Treacherous Computing" chips in the things made Linux users steer clear of them? - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF/hoRe8HF+6xeOIcRAviuAJ46EuxEU/rw+J+k49Di7qC5cSqZmACfRED7 Kiqtka/C9Lri6F2V+7Ez/iY= =attF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
