For huge number of pixels, Dell Inspiron 5000e or 8000 that does 1600x1200, for lightweight a Vaio of course. :) In fact, get a i5000e, so you can fix my cardbus. :-P It works fine except for the resource allocation glitches. The volume buttons on the 5000e even work. :) -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
