	It helps to a point.   The thing is that my budget is limited
	to th $200-$300 range.  I'm not looking for anything fast ...
	just smething solid with a good drive and CDROM.  And a NC
	that just-works.  

	I've been checking the freebsd laptop list and working from
	these, but still flying blind pretty much.

	Anybody else have laptop success stories to share in
	the 266-400MHz range??

	gary
