If the cost of a Thinkpad isn't prohibitive, and XP isn't a requirement, another option is to get an Apple laptop. You get a friendly interface, a reasonable selection of third-party software, and considerably less vulnerability to malware. I know a number of people who are very happy with their Powerbooks, and some of them are fairly hard-core Unix guys. -- Michael A. Marsh http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~mmarsh http://mamarsh.blogspot.com
