<OT> Soon to look for Laptop

[Net Llama]

Most of the major computer vendors' laptops are all made by the same
company, Quanta.  That said, there's not much difference in quality
between IBM, HP, Gateway, Compaq or SONY.

Thinkpads have a great reputation as being the workhorses of the laptop
world.  

I personally own a SONY VAIO and an HP XE2.  Both are quite nice in
their own ways (and both are relatively old/slow with a P-300 and
PII-433 CPU respectively). 

At any rate, don't chain yourself to the notion that IBM is best in the
laptop world.  Go to http://www.linux-laptop.net and look up whatever it
is you're considering purchasing.  That's where i did all of my
research.
