Specs do not compare some of the attributes that really matter for laptops: durability, comfort when typing, etc. It's the little details, like the great layout keyboard and the rugged display hinges, that make thinkpads stand out. That, and a strong community (linux-thinkpad mailing list, thinkwiki.org, thinkpad-specific software and drivers like the acpi extensions, the hdaps drivers, gaim-thinklight, etc.). -- Jon Dowland http://alcopop.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
