about 35 purchases based on my recomendations to clients and friends.
However in the last year I have switched my support to ibm and the
think pad. Much better laptops. better built in features and more
rugged than the dells. The seem to hold up better even those they are
lighter and sleeker than their dell counterparts.
Good Luck with the new laptop!

I have the Dell Inspiron 1100 and have been very happy with it. The
only suggestion that I would make is to get as much RAM in the
notebook as possible. I would go with either 768 or 1024Megs of RAM.
Anything less is not sufficient for running the above apps.
