: 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...
