[are those up-grades to the 750 available yet? : - )] what happened to the toshiba comparisions discussions? i found those very worthwhile. i think most (sensible) people these days do not stick with one brand as if it was a religion, and are open to considering alternatives. as some subscribers to this list often have a much greater range of experience with high performance notebooks, the comparision disucssions were most useful to me. aside from a few comaptability problems with my 755CE it has been a good machine, and the few problems i have had with it have left me satisfied with ibm service. i also liked the year's insurance that came with it - the first year is the killer on insurance ... after that you can probably chop the value in half and it will be adequately insured. i need a new machine, but i am not so sure what they announce in oct/nov is going to convince me to stick with ibm. we'll see .... regards, al Alden S Klovdahl / alden.klovdahl@anu.edu.au / fax: +61 62 49 05 25 Sociology Arts / Australian National University / Canberra ACT Australia 0200
