Hello, Liam.

I've found that laptop screens have quite a short life, so I use my 
laptop with an external monitor and keyboard most of the time when I'm 
at work or at home. I do use the LCD display when I'm travelling, or if 
there is something interesting on TV ;-)

In fact, it's as much to save the keyboard as the LCD screen: I've 
already worn the 'A' key off my laptop keyboard. The Asus DV5000 is an 
'entertainment' PC, really, but it also performs quite well doing 
scientific work :-)

Hmm... along these lines - Anyone on the list using Ubuntu on a PS3?

Bye,

	Tony.
