Subject: Re: laptop vendors
I have had good results with ACER and ASUS laptops and them being
compatible with Linux.. and in the 40 or so laptops they have been
about as reliable as any i could expect.

the ones i didn't have good results with have been HP, MSI, and Pro-Star.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
