I lusted over Murray Stokely's laptop at BSDCon 2000. He loaned it to me so I could convert my FreshPorts presentation from PowerPoint to, ummm, whatever it was that came with Star Office. It was a fine looking screen and seemed quite solid. Murray just pointed me at: <http://www.dell.com/us/en/dhs/offers/specials_3x_special09.htm>; where the $2049 price tag for a 700MHz processor, 128MB ram, 10GB disk and a 15" screen looks pretty good to me. I don't think I'll need that MS Works bundle, so I'm sure I'll get a hefty discount (not) if they take that off. Do they preinstall? Actually, I'd be inclined to install myself.... There's something about knowing exactly what's on the box that gives me a better feeling. Any opinions? Any contacts at DELL? -- Dan Langille pgpkey - finger dan@unixathome.org | http://unixathome.org/finger.php To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
