That's part of why I'm contacting the LUG. I just got a job at the U of O so now I got more money. I'm tired of the tinkering, I just want something that works. I'm thinking of going with a Mac laptop next year, that will be my stay-at-home, but mobile, work machine.
I'll consider what you said...if I could I'd probably want to get a SSHD for ruggedness. This would have to go in a backpack and I'm a full-time bicyclist. The Starling offers one thing...it's pre-configured, with support. Though I read that the audio recording is iffy; something to do with Pulseaudio. Wouldn't you know that's something I want, but I can go without. Brian On Mon, 2009-12-07 at 18:20 -0500, [email protected] wrote: > Looks neat.
