<div>I held a Linux Stamisch here in Denver tonight and some of the System76 guys were there showing off the new Galago. This system is hot, and i don't have money for a new laptop. Hopefully by the time they clear out the backlog of orders I will have money... But, it still socks seeing the fastest laptop under 1lb and having no money :-( <br>
