You, of course, can make whatever decision suits you. I'm certainly not going to tell you to go out and buy a laptop; it sounds like you don't really need one. Personally, I do, but I rarely have need of a modem because most of the places I travel have either ethernet or wireless Internet available. I also have never spent $1800 on a new laptop for myself. I generally buy used ones, and the compatibility issues are usually well-known by the time a machine is a year or two old. A little web research before I buy generally tells me what I need to know about Linux compatibility. When I'm consulted about purchasing decisions for laptops at work, I usually suggest new Lenovo Thinkpads, but those will be running Windows so hardware compatibility isn't an issue. :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
