	People,

	Apologies up front if anybody thinks this is *too* far OT,
	but if the 8 months I've been using FreeBSD on my TP 600E
	(400MHz, 288M, 12G). it has become my favorite computer.
	__Not__ having that std mouse-pad thing where you scratch
	or drag or tap your fingers lets me rest the heel of my left
	hand dead-center and type away.  The tiny mouse-stick and the
	three cut/paste bars work well too.  

	When I upgrade, I'd like another laptop with the same 
	layout.  The few other laptops I've looked at all have 
	that mouse-pad.  Anybody know if there is anything like
	a "ThinkPad clone"??

	gary
