[Ubuntu Chicago] ZaReason Laptop

[Samir Faci]

I have an old laptop that's mostly functional aside from the lack of a
power supply.  I can't remember
the stats exactly... but I'm sure as hell it's not a quad core.
You're welcome to it if you want,
but I doubt it'll be much of a dev machine.

Maybe if you cluster the compaq and my toshiba?  and use distcc?
They'll add up to
what your old machine was like?

Sorry to hear you lost it though.
