Exactly my point.  Thank you.  Now if you're thinking conservation and
durability then kiss the laptop goodbye and you would be in the realm I
find myself in.  This is doable.  No doubt here.

Laptops are overpriced pieces of junk.  Just a shrunken down PC.  So what. 
Give me something that can make the grade and leave the kiddie toys for the
MSN crowd looking for their soulmates. Hasn't anyone ever told these people
to find a soul first before looking for a mate for it?  Heh, heh.

Sorry but I couldn't resist.
