Post #254,477 by Steve Lowe 5/4/06 11:42:05 PM Reply	That would be my first personal choice, actually. But, there's a couple of problems with that. First off, I need to be able to run windows (boot camp would work, but is beta - and I'd much prefer virtualization) and Linux. Is possible to tri-boot a MacBookPro - but it's hardly elegant and definitely not supported. Also, I need uber-connectivity - the MacBookPro doesn't have a pc-card slot in favor of the ExpressCard/34 slot. I haven't yet found an evdo or edge card for that. A nice wintel laptop and a new intel mini are the route i'm planning to go at this point. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]

I just found [link\|http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/\|this] and read about [link\|http://www.evdoinfo.com/EVDO_Products/ExpressCards_%26_USB_Devices/Novatel_XV620_-_EVDO_ExpressCard_20060410730/\|this]. More research is definitely in order...but damn it's looking good for a MacBookPro! -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]
