Post #189,792 by bepatient 1/11/05 3:27:32 PM Reply	I think I've found my next computer Damn nice, affordable. Wish they could have squeezed the new processor in there, but I'm not beholden to the highest mhz rating any longer...I just don't stress the system enough since I'm not a gamer. Plus, the kids are still using Apple tech in our school system...and while they are very proficient with the PC, having the same environment as their school system would be fine. I have a nice flat screen now already...and have a usb>ps2 conversion adapter that I bought for the T40 laptop, only to have another one show up...so I can plug right in.

Post #189,810 by folkert 1/11/05 4:23:54 PM Reply	I just TRIED to pre-order one Really, I did. I wanted one with a super drive and bluetooth. I'd really tried to give them money... but the store was so unresponsive that everything timed out once I hit the select for the 1.42GHz machine. Heck the frontpage of the store didn;t even transfer all the graphics. Looks like it is getting a pummelling. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Miltary Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]
