About 6 months ago, trying to use ATi's evil binary modules with
compiz-fusion resulted in EPIC FAIL. The open ATi modules worked
fine, though. The quality of nVidia's evil binary modules is
IME quite good, in general better than ATi's AFAICT.

Lenovo, unless their new not-quite-IBM machines are pieces of
cheap crap. The old Thinkpads were well-built. I have not had
the chance to play with their newer machines for a long period
of time, though, so I don't know how they stack up.
