Good advice, I made the mistake of looking in the "Home" section rather 
than "Small business". I can get a Latitude D830 for about the same 
price ($1467) but with an extra 2 GB of RAM.  (That's 8X what I've 
currently got on the Sony.) That's all the same features as the $2100 
Mac Book, except the drive is 80 GB smaller - and another $95 will get 
me a drive that's _almost_ the same size.

Doubt I'll need it. The Sony's my fourth notebook, and the worst mishap 
on any of them was damaging the hinges on a Winbook during a bumpy ride 
in a Ryder truck to LA. Then again, I hope I don't curse myself by 
saying that. :-)
