I don't need the firewire port - I didn't expect it had one. I was responding to: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Can't exactly find the spex at their site, so may I ask you: will your lappy have a firewire port?" ...and the later emails of Mike (not you, but [EMAIL PROTECTED]) saying he found the manual and the images of the ports. Just wanted to let him know, that no, it does not come with firewire.
On a side note, AFAIK the e1505's have Intel CPUs, and being a long-time fan of AMD, I was happy to see some Dell notebooks to finally have AMD CPUs :) - Jason > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Miller > Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 10:54 AM > To: Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group > Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] deal at Best Buy on Toshiba notebook $249 > > I think I was the one who posted that the 1501 does not have a IEEE > 1394 port.
