In the end, the best advice seems to be indeed to

Or you could purchase an Apple Mac Book and have a

all the "fun" out of
it?
I would get ThinkPad T30 or T23 from Ebay. They will work just fine with
FreeBSD.
They go for $190-250.

While I like Mac products and OSX is pretty cool, I
still find their laptops a bit pricey.
By the by, has anyone tried FreeBSD on one of those
little Asus EEEpc sublaptops? A real, tiny, i386
laptop for $300 (plus maybe a bit more for an
additional SD card to bump the storage some) seems
like a truly awesome deal.

I bought an Eee PC, but haven't tried any other software on it yet. I can
confirm that the hardware is a bargain, and I used it 'as is' while
travelling for ten days, and it connected 'out of the box' to the wireless
service provided in each hotel. A mouse is a great help, although the
built-in pad is quite usable. I had no trouble with the tiny keyboard,
except for needing the light on to read the keys.
They are a really great innovation, IMHO. I am really pleased with mine.
The wireless card may be the problem with FreeBSD.
