It's funny. I've gotten several emails either extolling the virtues of Sony laptops, or warning me away from them as they are horrible, unreliable, evil machines.
Is it a case that Sony outsources their machines, some model lines are well built and others are crap? I've got a PCG fx-190k that seems to be pretty solid, except that both the original and the replacement hard drives make way too much noise. Speaking of which, I'm planning on solving the noise problem and the space problem by putting in a larger (60g?) hard drive, with the plan of triple booting: Doze, Debian and RedHat (I'll be able to boot it in a configuration to annoy anyone). I'm interested in suggestions for good harddrives, and good places to get them. Larry -- I've found something worse than oldies station that play the music I used to listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.red4est.com/lrc
