Ditto on the Thinkpads, esp. the new ones that use aceleration sensors to park the hd head before it hits the ground when you drop it. Now that IBM is selling though, I'd go Dell. You can get repairs done and get ahold of someone, and their onsite service is good. (get a lattitude and you can talk to US based support, vs. India.) I have a Lat D800 running FC3 and it works very well, though I haven't had time to play w/ the wireless yet everything else works great. Chris Smith Sr. I.S.
