Subject: Seeking Laptop recommendations
Take a look at the Toughbook line of notebooks from Panasonic if you need to
travel with the thing a lot. I have one of the ancient CF-25MkII models (P150)
that is still chugging along fine with Win95/Linux. I'd then recommend dell,
followed by IBM and last Gateway/HP/Compaq.

> 1st. Apple powerbook/ibook (with windows xp emulated)
> 2nd. IBM whatever
> last Dell or Compaq
