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 -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix ----------- Gary, Your typing habits disturb me greatly.
