	I second this vote along with the others who favor the 
	ThinkPad.  (Also very much appreciate the heads-up on the VAIO
	below... )  I paid $336 for a 400MHz ThinkPad 600E in '03, 
	including its upgrades, and it has run 24*7 for nearly 40 months.
	It is a bit slow to bring up the larger suites (like firefox
	or Abiword); but once in-memory, no complaints.   --I'm still 
	at 5.4 but when 6.2 has been running for a few months, I'll
	upgrade.  So: good hardware, best software.

	That's my dime's worth.
