IT doesn't issue hardware not supported by either, so no end-user has to care what they receive as a desktop PC/laptop. Therefore, it's tough for me to find out what I'd get before I get it because knowbody knows or cares assuming blindly that I'm a Windoze drone. :) > --------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > geez, I wish someone would force me to take a laptop... :) :) point taken, but A) I do not like the thinkpad series, and B) it makes my life more of a security nightmare than it already is (more freaking procedures to deal with laptops for corporate security reasons, etc. etc. etc. > good luck, cheers, -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds CEG, CCE, Next Generation Flows, HLA | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
