I recently bought a Dell. Got it for about a third of what they were priced at
prior to Thanksgiving. Its nice, I like it. I can take it with me on Saturdays
to work at one of my employers houses, where I'm pretty much just sitting all
day, anyway. I have a USB 8 gig drive I keep all Fido archives on, and I
download directly onto from where I get packets. That way I can download a
packet just before I leave for work, and go through it there.


It also has a highspeed InterNet port, and I got a router so I can get on the
net with it. I've used it on the net a few times. It works great. I'm real
happy with it. Next time I get jury duty I can take it down to the courthouse
with me. When I was on jury duty in December, a whole lot of people had
laptops with them, and there are wall outlets in the reading rooms.
