Oliver (freebsd-mobile@gargantuan.com) [30/07/04 00:39]: : Thanks to you all for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I think I am : going to have to give up on the AMD64 piece for now and just settle for : everything else in a HP NC8000. My wife has a NC3000 from work and it : is a very nice machine, so I am ok with the NC8000. : : P.S. - my desire for the pointing stick is born of using ThinkPads for : many years, and I would certainly get a ThinkPad instead of the NC8000 : if they were anywhere close to one another in price... If price is an issue, IBM has very reasonable prices on their refurbished units (come with a full warranty, I believe) and things in Clearance Corner.
