Since I had my arm surgery, I’ve had to use a laptop to do any work because lifting my arm up to use a mouse or raise it up to the level of a keyboard on a desk was a problem. For my own use, I pulled an old, abondoned unit out of my closet. God that thing was slow, 128mb ram and only a p3/333 is really painful running rh9. So, taking pity on me, my manager sent me a not currently being used laptop he had up in Westford that is a nice Vaio with a p3/600 and 256mb ram. It is *so* much faster by comparison that it makes me want to go buy a Vaio for myself ;-)
