Thanks for the information. I've added my contact information and everything 
that I have about what the setup required to the pages. I hope it's ok that 
I've added myself to the laptop testing team. This is one way that I'd 
really like to get involved with Ubuntu. 

I'll be transfering all the information that I have on the laptop to the 
appropriate pages on the WIKI over the next week or so, and then will begin 
testing breezy and provide feedback.
