Any opinions on toshibas? What model is your Sony Kevin?
Erika, why win2kServer and not XP? Brian, Gateways are a good choice, I think anchordesk has rated them #1 recently! Thanks everyone for your input! --Josh -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 10:06 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: laptop recommendations The only thing statwise different from my Vaio, is I have a little bigger screen 20 gig HD and 512 mb ram, firewire/iee1394 port. I added the ram aftermarket, it's a lot cheaper that way. Love it and would recommend it to anyone! -----Original Message----- From: Erika L.

If you get it on the laptop, scrap it and install Win2KServer. Second: I have an HP Pavilion that I've had to use as my development PC for the past 7 months (because of moving to England and having to wait for my Dell Tower). I only have 256MB RAM on it and the hard drive is only 9 GIG ... But I'm running Win2K Advanced, SQL Enterprise, CF 5 Studio and Server, Office XP (which is just OK) and a host of other graphic programs .... It had built-in 10/100, modem, 14.1 screen, DVD, floppy, infrared, USB, serial port, 2 PCMCIA slots ... The works. It's been a dutiful and perfect workhorse. I've had a few network issues that have been all my fault ... But it's been working very hard for me for a long time ... On all day and all night ... For over 7 months, and never a complaint. The HP series is highly recommended by me.
