Now that would be a serious laptop... I wonder if they'd take a trade-in
on my backup LapNote (Clevo) 350Mhz/128Mb. Heck I'd even throw in my
everyday IBM ThinkPad A21M 800Mhz/256Mb :-)

One of the first applications that I add to the top panel is the
terminal. I like GUI's as much as the next person, but the more that I
learn to use the CLI the faster I get in
resolving/installing/uninstalling things. The clear beauty of the CLI is
that you have the ability to dig below the GUI (well behaved GUI or more
often not).
